The right use the excuse that "its a private business"
The left uses the excuse that you should just "create your own app/site"
You're both wrong and right at the same time.
Private business should be protected from government intrusion.
And competition breeds advancements.
Only problem EVERYONE seems to overlook that I have been expressing for several years is you can't "create your own" when all of the servers (a requirement for being online) are controlled by those who wish to control it's content. Be it Microsoft or Amazon, without those data servers you have NO CHANCE to compete nationally much less globally.
Yes there are smaller server farms but just like in the mobile industry those smaller companies lease access from the big conglomerates.
Think of it this way.
You're driving through a red or blue state and the highway system is controlled by the partisans of those states. Sound reasonable? Of course not. And what is the internet but a digital highway...
We are on a VERY SLIPPERY Orwellian slope and we better get our shit together.
Whats next? In 10 years rated R movies are considered bad so they ban their digital distribution? Video game? Booze? Female nightwear? Bibles? Online shopping from non industry approved outlets? Text message screening? Email screening? Catching voicemails?
