Step 1: Corporations shouldn’t be regulated by people. Let the free market decide.

Step 2: Corporations are people. They should have more influence in government.

Step 3: Corporations have too much power and need to be regulated.

I’m guessing step 4 is violence.

The social networks be acting like that too, damned if you do damned if you don't, that's why we need the coli, can say anything you want or feel as long as you not being stupid for the sake of it or trying to hurt people or lying.
aren't those the same things that get you in trouble on the social networks?

i don't get the crying over big social media when you can have your own sites to proliferate whatever you want. st0rmfr0nt, breitbart, etc all exist
Because those sites don't have as many views

Nikkas being crybabies because they want to use someone else's platform and want to dictate the rules

they have enough, they're just mad they don't get to troll on a platform where there's people with differing views. the only thing i think google/apple did wrong was remove the parler app from their stores, let them have their own social media site and stfu

Well on the coli at least you can say something offensive if you want or be a straight jackass and instead of just getting the boot you get community justice from the people on the site, like, we self regulate this space ourselves for the most part. Like I was on Twitter right and I called out that dude who wears the blue vest all the time a c00n and got shadow banned, I also got shadow banned on instagram for no reason too, plus if I say some shyt on ig like "fukk those nikkas" they give me a precaution message before letting me even comment, like it's just annoying

The Coli is a small community. Community moderation works here for the most part, but even here you have complaints about unequal enforcement, and not all of them are unfounded. Coli mods have biases. When you have millions or billions of users, you need algorithms to moderate, and machines often are often overzealous. I got zucced for 24 hours for posting the "slack jawed fakkits" line from Predator on a movie page about famous movie quotes and another time for posting an anti Proud Boys meme because it had the PB logo on it. No nuance.

see the flip side of this is that I bet there are far more white people using that exact language towards black users than black users saying it towards other black users.

No because they have Tucker Carlson who is the leader of the NazBol movement
Tucker just parrots what Breitbart and them splash on their front page. Tucker isn’t generating Pizzagate level conspiracies from jump.

He just legitimize “what is up with the Clinton foundation and why isn’t the media talking about it” from the outside without condemning it.
