Whether President Or Pauper

There is a basic problem in America. Rights were generally conceived has having come from God, given to man, and therefore the government should not abrogate rights.

Corporations shouldn't abrogate our rights either.

Nor should they pretend to have our rights in a manner not consistent with they way we, individually, have our rights. That is, the 'press' does not have freedom of speech or the freedom to access the 'printing press' any more than the average citizen does.

And, additionally, these corporations must have some responsibility, to the individuals that have to deal with them.

IF the President is maligned,

If someone is banned on Twitter,

If Amazon suddenly stops publishing books,

And the allegations are always some violation of some rule- allegations that don't survive simple research, much less a trial. But letting it even get to a trail, in many ways, hobbles the individual when compared to the corporation. The corporations have plenty of lawyers. The people struggle to pay for such things.

Many of these corporations took advantage of the low interest rate environment and ensuing conditions to build out to the point where they are supposed to be platforms- platforms for distribution that function as the printing press once did.

End user license agreements should be illegal. Just sell the product.

Terms of Service- They should not be so vague as to allow political banning under the guise of a rule violation. Stick to what's legal, and things very specific to the running of the site.

Constant lies from the mainstream meda- Root out the CIA agents. Wikileaks was a gold mine, except you don't see many mainstream stories coming from that data dump do you? This is because someone paid by an agency has to continue to treat things marked as top secret as top secret, even after they are released to the public.

Additionally, since they are corporations and using these stories to make money, they should have a higher standard than the lone individual with limited resources trying to get what he thinks may be true out there. Given the nature of their business, fear and chaos, makes them more profitable, because everyone tunes in when there is a crisis. The temptation to routinely create a sense of crisis is strong.

The basic concept- make contract contracts again, and not escapades in corporate over-lordship. When you read your cell phone contract, do you feel you and the company are on the same page? Probably not.
