    What is precisely unlimited about this? Should companies be able to keep whatever they want behind the curtain and we aren’t allowed to ask what it is?

      You said that government business is whatever the government passes laws about, which literally gives the government unlimited justification to do anything and everything because, by definition, it’s the proper business of government under that standard.

        It’s the job of the government to inspect and regulate businesses and this is a reasonable and frankly way overdue example of them doing exactly that. Nothing unreasonable about it and calling it unlimited intrusion or whatever makes you look like the dumbest of libertarians, which is REALLY saying something.

          No, it isn’t the purpose of government to just make demands of private businesses. It’s absolutely unreasonable for the government to do so with intent to censor

            None of that is true. Go away if you the only thing you have to contribute is libertarian lies about basic accountability being tyranny.

              Lmao why should I go away just because you have nothing except outright lies to defend your demands to terminate basic rights.

                why should I go away

                Because you have nothing but lies and misunderstandings of basic facts to contribute, neither of which are beneficial to anyone.

                because you have nothing except outright lies

                Going for the gold medal in projection?

                demands to terminate basic rights

                There’s no basic right to facilitate stochastic terrorism.

                  The fact the you bring up shit like “stochastic terrorism” just proves my point. I see no further reason to engage since you’re clearly off the deep end

                How does asking to see how they moderate their content behind closed doors terminating basic rights? Can you describe which right they’re terminating here?

            Governments make demands of private businesses all the time with things like workers rights, safety regulations, emissions standards, etc. We don’t live in a libertarian no holds barred corporate wonderland and we’re better for it as these businesses have long proved they can’t be trusted if left to their own devices.
