Only within the confines of the law. If I buy a skyscraper I can’t blow it up without permits. I can’t burn trash in my yard in the middle of the city. I can’t tear down a landmark in a historical district, even if I own it.
Right, but these are unlawful activities and I haven’t seen any claims that these companies are engaging in unlawful behavior.
Instead, the legislators are making currently lawful behavior unlawful.
That’s what I find upsetting.
And everything I described was at one point legal.
