Right now, Google/Twitter/Facebook and could be argued Amazon as a backend provider has immense power over the ability for platforms to even exist.
It is true. They are powerful.
What is the source of their power? Answer: large user bases.
How do we limit their power? Regulation whack-a-mole? The answer is the inverse of the previous one: take away the large user base.
How do we take away the large user base? Educated consumers who no longer tolerate abusive relationships with their service providers.
Nothing ad hominem about it, you really are a moron, you have provided not a single argument here.
This is astonishing. You literally call me a moron, which is the very definition of attacking the person, instead of the argument. And then claim that this comment chain, namely my side of it, fails to make a claim.
Not sure how useful it will be, but here is my argument, as precisely as I can provide it to you:
You have not provided an argument, at all. Where is it? A Supreme Court Justice just provided a clear concise view on the danger big techs power poses, how they control speech and possible ways to fix it.
You've done nothing, no argument, just paragraph after paragraph of ranting and raving, and still no argument.
So yes; you're a moron. You've provided no argument to attack here, so no ad hominem.
No one else is reading at this threshold of comment depth, so please understand it is just you and I here. Some glutton for punishment may be following along, but the vast majority of normal people don't care about what you and I are doing at this point.
My argument is plain and simple, stated as many times as I've posted: these services are an abomination, by design, as is evidenced by their abusive, tyrannical terms of service.
Each and every user of said services deserves the hard lesson learned here: you failed to read the terms before agreeing to them. If you did, you'd have objected, and avoided the negative consequences. Despite many warnings from more savvy internet denizens, you failed to think critically and instead allowed these services to rule over you. That didn't have to happen, you agreed to it happening, and participated in the foul play. You gave the tyrants all the power, willingly, apathetically, lazily, and that you now are whining about it only serves to demonstrate just how ignorant you are to the situation that you've surrounded yourself with.
For any of this to even have applied to yourself, you'd have said to yourself:
"So this means that the service provider is hereby is granted a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive license to use photographs of my precious child for any and all purposes, without my permission, now and forever, with zero legal recourse to me other than biased 3rd party arbitration that will amount to little more than pointing out the simple fact that I agreed to all of this, in writing. Even if it means selling it to pedophiles?"
And then you clicked AGREE? And then you stuck around after countless abuses of your privacy, your dignity, and then have the gall to pass the blame onto the government's failing to force a service to behave a certain way?
My argument is that you need to wake up and smell the reality of the situation you created for yourself:
Stop using these services, now.
Never use them again, ever.
If you're still missing my argument now, after this post and the multitude of those that preceded it, perhaps I could print these posts out, roll them up like a newspaper, and smack you upside the head with them. Perhaps then you'd notice the argument.
Run along back to /r/politics.
You won't find me there, but good luck to you wherever you may end up, fren.
All your ranting and raving consists of screaming terms of service. It's already been pointed out to you that tos are routinely overruled in court so that leaves you with zero, zilch, no argument whatsoever.
