So when do they plan to do something about those domestic businesses trying to manipulate citizens of America?
Capitalism abusing citizens? Just fine.
"Communism" abusing citizens? Avengers, assemble!
They're prospective communists. Supposedly they're going to get there by 2050, but they just built a new massive luxury tower for their ultra wealthy so...
It's just like Marx said: "If you do an oppressive oligarchy for 100 years, it magically transforms into communism"
If that were true then the United States would have been communist by now
I think they're more worried that it's a foreign corporation going after their citizens and not a domestic corporation.
More of a capitalistic dictatorship
I mean, the domestic businesses are the ones who own Congress and are using it to get rid of a competitor.
After the thousands of years of human history I've read about, getting rid of competitors seems to have been the primary concern of most of the ruling classes all over the world. Way back to Ur.
Rulers don't play fair, because power corrupts.
While you're not wrong about double standards, anything that discourages the use of vapid social media platforms is a win in my book. Use whatever backwards logic you like to make it happen so long as it's effective.
Well this goes into the direction of social media monopoly so I'm not sure
He says, on a social media platform
As soon as the foreign businesses get better at harvesting data than the domestic ones, of course.
