Except, it's literally his argument.
He's asking me to expound on his argument.
I made my argument quite clear. if you have any questions, then please feel free to ask. Considering your decision to edit out the part where I actually fucking answered it, my guess is you simply wanted to be disingenuous.
My answer is most of them, are we still going in circles or do you want me to list like 150 countries? Throw a dart at a world map, you'll probably hit one
Not my problem you somehow still not get that most countries do not have a first amendment and thus can pass censorship laws with a simple majority.Lots of countries... countries that probably even have names, the very best names. You keep giving a Trumpian answer.
All a democracy is... is a bunch of those '1 person" joining together. It's no different than a group boycott.
Boycotts are democracy in action.

But, most countries do have freedom of speech, do they not?
Now, the only real issue, is how much you want to curtail it. Since you cannot seem to cite a country you want to emulate, then we are stuck.
Yeah, no, the wealthy have more influence over those companies, its equal at all between every user.
Meanwhile, Facebook has 2.8 Billion users and the wealthy have far more direct control over it, a small country would have somewhere between 1million and 5 million voters[or more/less].
Gee, I wonder where somebody would have far more power, living in a small country and voting for parties who support certain kinds of censorship or leaving facebook.

Not as limitless as you seem think it is, and its not that hard to write new laws and pass them with a simple majority.
So, don't use Facebook. If you don't like that people are spreading misinformation, then ignore them, shun them... or even mock them.
But, my guess is that you have no problem supporting that which you claim to despise.

Where did I say it was limitless?
Nowhere. You simply want to curtail it more than most. Of course, we still don't know how much, because you refuse to say.
And, since you want to use government, and enforce censoring it, you sure as hell better be able to definitely show exactly what that entails.

Nah, I keep saying that anti-vax misinformation is one of the big issues but you keep ignoring that.
Again, most people that live in a democracy hold far more power by simply voting for a party that actually wants to do something about facebook.So, don't use Facebook. If you don't like that people are spreading misinformation, then ignore them, shun them... or even mock them.
But, my guess is that you have no problem supporting that which you claim to despise.
If 3million people in a small country stopped using facebook, nothing would change, if they all voted for pro-regulation parties something would change. This is not that hard, now is it?
There's the problem, exactly what constitutes misinformation? As a government action, you would need to define it, and be able to make it a consistent reality.
This is a subjective thing, most of the time.
If 3 million people in a small country stopped using Facebook, plenty would happen. They'd seek alternative forms of entertainment, and news gathering. It's not hard. of course, China banned it... so be more like them, I guess...

There are sources for that instead of guessing "most".
Not only that, they all vary. Bigly.
See for yourself in links below.
I'd love to post the map but I don't think we can.
Not sure why anyone wants to start a claim based on guessing. Ever.
Can you see how that would undermine any point you are trying to make?
And yea, I think he pulled the alternative facts card.
Facts are subjective most of the time is how I read that.
If you don't like them, they aren't true.
From the googs:
sub·jec·tive
/səbˈjektiv/
adjective
1.
based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.
"his views are highly subjective"
There's your problem right there.

No, its not.
You told me it was a choice to go to Walmart when the only other alternative was to endanger the health of a child and then tried to blame me for it because I didn't have enough bug killer to deal with the infestation on the scale I discovered.
No mistake about it, no lying either, you said I CHOSE to support Walmart's practices when I CHOSE to go there, when the alternative was endangering a child's health.
Just like you talked about "Weening" elderly people off of Social Security onto nothing I guess as they don't have any real options at that point. All to avoid having the top pay payroll taxes on their capital gains as they have used that to dodge paying those taxes which they were originally intended to be paying into as well.
You pretended that endangering a child is an option just to avoid giving business to the only open place at the time with the supplies to address it and you had no solution to the problem with social security that didn't cause unneeded suffering and in fact make that suffering unavoidable at the same time.
And from what I can tell, going from what I skimmed. Under your analogy, it is completely flawed.
If I allow someone into my house and then they start lying and spreading dangerous stuff and I don't actually address it and correct it while kicking them out, THEN I endorse and support that action by proxy.
If I allow someone into my house and then they start doing that crap and I correct their lies to the rest and kick them out, then I don't endorse it. That's how it works.
And if you have a people who outright refuse to hold them to account knowing exactly what they are doing when they are the owners of that service, they are endorsing it by proxy. All they have to do is address their terms of service about telling blatant misinformation being against it and ENFORCING it.
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
