That sounds kind of silly. Who would continue to use a social media platform that did that? The whole point of being on social media is to be able to communicate; if the platform starts working against you on that you had better be looking for a new one.
Except.. there are limited options, really. Your speech in the new town square (primary social media platforms) is already limited; why wouldn't your private speech be limited now as well?
Society as a whole seems to have already tacitly agreed that the town square can be privately owned and controlled. Why would this trend stop there?
The slippery slope is only a fallacy when one is not actually sliding down an ice covered incline towards a precipice.
You fixed nothing, kid. You don't even understand what these words mean, and as such, you can add nothing to this conversation.
We open with an ad hominem.
Copying an idea without permission ain't stealing it. It might be unscrupulous, but it still isn't theft.
We now move on to restating the original claim, adding nothing to support that claim.
And trying to claim otherwise only makes you wrong, it doesn't change anything.
And now we add to this an unsupported claim of correctness, without supporting argument. "I'm right and you're wrong." That's some advanced logic and rhetoric, that is.
When even the law is ahead of you, you know that your ideas are outdated.
Finally. An attempt to support your position. Only - to make the claim that the laws of man are the standard by which ideas should be judged, one would have to prove that human law is always good and correct. Are you suggesting that this is the case? And - would you like to offer support to this claim?
It must be strange to never have come up with an idea worth stealing. That's the only possible way you could possibly misunderstand theft so completely.
This will guarantee that there will be an EU in 2050.
This will be the secular religion used to inflame passions, the threat used to justify centralized totalitarian control.
(Note that the above does not address climate change in any way, only how it will be used to cement the EU into a Federal/Imperial sort of government.)
One of the problems today is that the right and left talk past each other.
For example, I very much want the world to be a better place. I spend a considerable amount of my time doing unpaid work to that end.
What I do not want, however, is for the government to be in charge of those efforts. I believe that power corrupts, and there is so much power centralized in government that anything they touch becomes inefficient at best. Yes, we need government, but outsourcing all our efforts to that institution to improve the world leads not to a better world, in my opinion.
This isn't to say that many on the right, as well as the left, are simply taking advantage of the same corrupt power structures. But at least on the right, there is some chance of a reduction of the scope and scale of The Machine. On the left, I don't believe that there is any.
Oh, and by the way: It was Governor Amazon Cuomo and Mayor "Let the taxpayers pay the" Bill de Blasio who shelled out the $3B for Amazon. I suspect that both would be rather offended to be called "the right".

How many publishing companies have disappeared and are forgotten, but whose books remain in libraries?
Making the publisher and publication one and the same creates a single point of failure.
Careful what you ask for.
Might wind up outlawing privacy.

Let's parse your argument. This should be fun!

Eagerly awaiting your response!

You betcha!
I agree!
Great idea!

Can you imagine a generation of kids brought up by Amazon?
Didn't you hear? The Mouse has struck the Clone Wars from the canon.
There will be no further mention!
Now, do we have a problem?

Yes, but that doesn't synergize the deep learning network pipeline with leveraging personalized actionable analytics.

Well, perhaps Bezos will make the trains run on time.
No, it won't be fine.

Thank heaven for Cuomo. He gets it.
What in the world are you smoking?
Careful, comrade. That of talk is dangerous.
