Name the equal to Google.
And the equal to Facebook.
Without going down the list of those who colluded, there are none.
And there are financial institutions who also have joined in.
As for agreeing to be raped, the law is that a contract based on illegality is not enforceable.
I don't know the answer, but I will bet it is tested in court.
As I said earlier, there is nothing wrong with a company deciding it does not want a customer but there is a lot wrong with a long list of companies who offer similar services colluding to lock a business out of all services that business requires to operate.
And even if it is ruled that there has been no law broken, that does not prevent Jones from demonstrating in civil court that their actions have caused him loss of profits. And the killer will be that it was an intentional act designed to ruin his business.
As for your love for the 2nd Amendment, I doubt that it i s equal to mine and you should be aware that this same
technique is being applied to all of the major players in the gun industry, from the smallest gun store to the big manufacturers.
Some credit card companies are refusing to honor charges made to them and some banks are canceling loan agreements. I have read of several cases where the gun retailer had his charges refused after the customer was gone, leaving the store holding the bag. An empty bag.
At a time when the industry is booming, it is obvious these actions are not due to credit ratings, but due to politics.
Big corporations who control large shares of the market have to be very careful about entering into agreements with their competitors. That can get them in deep doo-doo.
I have said my piece and I am done.
Being top of the heap doesn’t make you a monopoly. You need to have well over 50% of the market share to be a monopoly, and able to exclude others from the market. None of these companies people squawk are monopolies are either. Most of them don’t even top 10% of their market, even the big ones hit less than 20%, and they all have HUNDREDS of competitors and clearly aren’t excluding anybody.
If you agree to be raped that’s not raped, that’s #$%^ed, and is legal. There’s nothing illegal in those EULAs, they’ve been tested multiple times already. It’s their harddrives, they can delete and/or sell anything on them.
The answer is it’s already been tested in court, and you’re wrong.
Not the second amendment, second item in the list. If you can force Facebook to keep content they don’t want on their site then YOU will be forced to keep content you don’t want on your property. People will be able to stick whatever political sign they want in your front yard and you’ll have to suck it up.
You’ve said your piece and it is factually in error, short sighted, and ignores the basic reality of how free speech and property rights interact. Learn.
