Funny, "The world doesn't owe you a business model" is exactly what I would say to google and apple about their app stores.

Maybe even the full "The world doesn't owe you a business model, and you can't take away people's rights because you want a better way to sell" even though that invites unproductive sidetracking about to what extent a free market is a right.



Speech is a right, and forcing someone to host something is against 1A.


Not a person, a company.

We force companies with dominant market power to do all kinds of things that normal people and even normal companies aren't forced to do.

And it's not "you must host this" but "if you want to keep the overwhelming level of power you have then you must host this"
