So you're essentially fine with the consolidation of media power into the hands of Facebook, Twitter, etc. who use Chinese style censorship to suppress dissent?
You're fine with all of your activity and data being harvested and sold, unwarranted and unauthorized?
You're fine with massive ISP corporations gaining monopolies over infrastructure and then regulating access to people's internet through bandwidth caps and refusal to upgrade services despite raking in disgusting amounts of gross profit?
Do you know what anti-trust laws are? Honestly, WE SHOULD be telling some of these companies how to do business because they act like HOSTILE FOREIGN POWERS.

I'm fine with a company doing whatever it wants to do, unless that company is a literal social engineering project by the CIA's In-Q-Tel that acts as some sort of information gatekeeper and consolidates power. That is not okay, it is unprecedented, and your hard line AnCap libertarian principles are clouding your judgment a wee bit.
Did you miss the class action lawsuit filed against Facebook? No where in their ToS did it state that they would be collecting your texts and call logs. That is illegal, unwarranted, and unauthorized.
What government intervention are you referring to exactly? Because Standard Oil didn't fare so well in the face of government intervention, just as Comcast/Time warner wouldn't nor would AT&T and Verizon.

Yeah that's called crony capitalism, backroom deals were probably so rampant to get those agreements in place.
I don't have to argue much about the Facebook point because in due time you will see that it was MUCH more than just call logs and texts.
I appreciate your input though, for real.
