They probably need a time out though.
Holding people accountable for their actions is socialism?*Laughs in socialism*
Who are you expecting to hold them to account? The free market or a regulatory body?Holding people accountable for their actions is socialism?
The judicial system.Who are you expecting to hold them to account? The free market or a regulatory body?

That was one of the greatest quotes in political history and you managed to butcher it. Please stop.Lol. Dude is as dumb as a brick. And you are engaging him in 16 year old level conversation.
Fool me once. And fool.... Me. Once. you get the idea.
As another braniac from merica might have said.
So the only system where people are held accountable is socialism?Being as the judicial system is the state...
Yes.

But seriously, don't be such a dick.
No.So the only system where people are held accountable is socialism?
Who is your mate that he constantly attacks?seriously. I butchered it on purpose.
and I will always jump in when he retards more than normal out of respect to my mate who he constantly attacks.
You are a great white knight though.

if I or any other member constantly gave the abuse he gives this member to him we would be pinked. In fact I have been. Calling someone a retard every time they post is usually a pink flag.
but same rules don’t apply for some reason.
haven’t you heard the good news?Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus!

You asked if there was only one system where people are held to account. There is not.....then why bring up socialism?
I don't see Facebook as a utility. So why would I treat it as such?You asked if there was only one system where people are held to account. There is not.
One system involves the free market which would be people taking their business elsewhere and the company going bankrupt. The other involves the state sticking it's big stately nose in to make sure everyone is doing what they state has decided is right. This is both what you're advocating for and a form of socialism. Personally, I think you're correct in thinking they're they right ones to deal with this situation. But your stance on energy runs directly counter to your previous stance on how tech businesses should be allowed to conduct themselves. I'm just looking for some consistency.
