Then you support censorship. Do you think those social media companies didn't already have mechanisms in place for censoring content in other countries? All they had to do was flip the switch on inauguration. There's a reason why Zuckerberg was at the inauguration.
Oh I see your point. it's a natural consequence of any platform that's capitalism first. A big part of why I'm on this platform. But I feel it's not helpful to block another platform for their policies.
It's more important to educate people to practice critical thinking.
Do you believe the government should intervene if a popular fast food chain started adding lead paint to their special sauce? Or would that be overstepping?
Libertarians have no concept of how the real world works. But more amusingly, they seem to be unaware that the vast, vast, vast majority of the world doesn't want what they're selling. And with all of their talk of not wanting to force things on people, they sure seem happy to force their own ideals on them. See the town they took over in New Hampshire by moving there en masse to force libertarianism, The town where they decided to end trash pickup and then the bears took over.
