Because one is public access to the web, the other is a private platform, and not the web. Facebook and Instagram aren’t the web and aren’t open access to the world’s information. It’s like saying your rights are being trampled on if Walmart bans you from their store. You still have access to food.
You're making exactly the right-libertarian point the meme mocks.
Explain why you think "private property" should get special privileges.
Because if it’s mine, I can do what I want with it. Did you build it? Contribute anything? It’s only communistic if you actually contribute. People often forget that part of communism. You have to contribute just as much to have a say. Thats why it’s for the WORKERS. So if you aren’t involved, you don’t have a say to my property.
Also, again, your point is moot in the face of my initial comment. The internet is a public utility (Atleast it should be). Facebook is a private one, and isnt yours. You have no right to it if you didn’t contribute
If this is Walmart we're talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.
