"The existence of Facebook and LinkedIn occupying that space already is what prevents alternatives from having any users. No users means no content. No content means no users. Once one platform in a given sphere has the users they have the content and the users and every competitor is shut out. "

Which is how capitalism works, in which a product or service that the most customers like the best will dominate, and unless they are engaging in monopolistic practices then greater marker share does not justify regulating them as a utility, or otherwise subjecting them to rules which forbid them zotting users as can be done on FR due to their ideological content. Once you set that precedent then while liberal-defined "hate speech" will be outlawed, the likes of FR will be required to allow the promotion of liberal ethos.

Capitalism is by far the best economic engine the world has ever seen with nothing else coming even close.

Capitalism even works great for murdering people with the hitman with the most successful track record totally dominating the market, and nobody having a monopoly.

Even so I am not all for letting the free market of murdering people be an unregulated monument to the absolute greatness of Capitalism.

I have a problem with the free market depriving people of basic human rights. I hope you do too.
