No. They need to be given the same rights as you. YOU need to NOT USE THEM. There are alternatives. I haven’t used Goongle in years. I use DuckDuckGo.com and I don’t miss them at all. Do that on all your devices and computers. You are not their life blood, money is. No users, no money, goodbye. In the time it would take to get those laws passed they will already be a thing of the past because we all stopped using them. And stop saying “Goongle it” say “look it up” or “search it” that’s what you mean anyway. Peace out digital warriors

Remember Ma Bell? She got too big for her pants. Monopolies are a no-no according to our laws. Sorry, that's a fact.

Good in theory but not in practie. they are too strong.

There is asymmetry in their power versus the individual.

How does an individual avoid google ?

They say "Don't use our services" and laugh at us.

Hidden monoploy and tyranny by anonymous people. We are witnessing the danger.

Indeed. Once certain companies get so big, once they become ubiquitous, an accepted communication platform used by the masses, then they can become regulated as a public utility. It happened to TV, telephone and radio. Twitter, Facebook and Twitter have surpassed being just publicly owned companies. They are mass communication standards and the public has certain expectations about how they will be run. Expect government regulation to reign them in and regulate them as a equal access public utility.

Fuck em. Look at the damage theyve done. These platforms were basically weaponized against the public

This is nonsense. You don't have freedom to say whatever you want on my property, either. Be decent or leave.

This is unnecessary. Prosecute them for meddling. For insider trading. For spying. For conspiring. For screaming "fire" when there isn't one. Allow them to be accountable for the loss of people's data.

Most of all, don't protect them from competition. Even endorse, use, support, alternatives.

No need to embrace facism regardless of what democrats claim.

Oh yes they do. Your rights end where another's begin. If you enter ones property, and they tell you to shut the fuck up, you'de within your right to shut the fuck up, or leave.

It is not nonsense. They are complicit in treason.

Entities that plot treason have forfeited their rights.

Of course. So no need to claim "social contract" nonsense, just prosecute them for treason and punish them. Don't try to spin fascism like the democrats.

A legitimate claim could be made that it is a public utility. Just like TV, radio, and telephone.....

  • TV is not public

  • Radio is not public (new laws and bills have already been laid out to ban frequencies)

  • Telephone, like all channels, are saturated with spam, cranks, and NO protections for the individual

  • Like all tactics employed by them, they target public spaces by saturating them with porn, hate, violence, and then create new laws agains their own actions

  • They destroy public spaces by making them appear unsafe

I don't agree with seizing them, but their active censorship now makes them fully responsible for any and all content on their sites. Someone uploaded cheezy pizza photos to FB? SHUT IT DOWN.
