| > I'm saying that there's no legal means to stop a despot from doing this So then you agree completely with what the other person was originally saying, got it. You have no disagreement with them. So you should not have said "No". Instead, you should have said "Yes I agree with you". > If you want to do that we're going to need another amendment Actually, we could simply make a law. Such as by changing our existing, and uncontroversial, common carrier laws. > In the eyes of the law Literally you are agreeing with the other person. You are agreeing that a despot could cause huge amounts of harm to society, by just doing everything through private companies. Yes. Thats the problem. You have correctly identified that someone could engage in mass censorship, that is as bad as other forms of censorship, by just doing it through private companies, although this can be fixed by changing the law. > you have no rights. Got it. So you agree completely with the other person, that mass censorship, and lots of very bad things could be done to society, and currently it is difficult to stop all of these extremely bad things from happening. (Which could be fixed by changing the law) I am not sure why you keep stating things, in the way that you do, when in reality, you are agreeing completely with everyone else as to what the problem is, and you are agreeing that all of these very bad things could be done to lots of people, right now. |
