        It’s not communism but it’s antithetical to the American spirit of free market capitalism. They prefer their growth unchecked and their corporations unregulated, just as the founding fathers intended.

        What if it was something you were hosting and someone told you what to do? Kind of three antithesis of Lemmy, really.

          The difference is the barrier to entry and the size. Realistically, it is very hard to make a YouTube competitor given how high the server costs are and how sticky the platform is.

          As a platform (or a company), gets bigger and bigger, it has more influence on society and it’s private status becomes more and more detrimental to the good of humanity.

          In the example you said, what I host would not have a huge impact on society, hence I would not need to be as responsible for what I do.

            If the breaking point is size, then what qualifies the size? What if you hosted your stuff at a medium scale in your house as a hobby? Does this mean that an anonymous person can demand that you host certain content? At what point is your infra not yours anymore?

              If the breaking point is size, then what qualifies the size?

              When it’s a monopoly (maybe even before that, but definitely when it’s a monopoly).

              Please see standard oil and how anti trust suites broke that up.

                You host stuff in your house, and create a monopoly. Does a guy in a suit show up at your door to claim it? How does running a service as a hobby compare to oil?

                  How can I have a monopoly by hosting something in my house? If you create a forum, you don’t have a monopoly over all forums, you have control over your own forum.

                  Your confusing one product with an entire sector/industry.

                    Why can’t you have a monopoly with something you host yourself? What product am I confusing with another sector?
