Every company is free to determine its terms of use. If USG doesn’t like them they should sign a contract with someone else.

Can I run a business and say “No use by insert race here”? If they don’t like it, they can shop somewhere else, right?

  • Ofcourse we're gonna compare being against the use of technology for Mass surveillance/Autonomous weapons with being racist, like wtf kind of argument is this? So because businesses can't implement racist policies they shouldn't be allowed to have any policies concerning the use of their tech? Mindblowing.

  • Kegsbreath isn't a protected class.

    • If your argument is “every company is free to determine its terms of use”, except when told otherwise by the government, you’ve proven my point. The government is saying they need to provide unfettered access.

Every company is free to state their terms of use, but not all have been upheld when challenged

  • What’s your angle here? I’m genuinely curious. If the government told you that you had to muck out portable bathrooms with your bare hands even if you didn’t want to, wouldn’t you find that objectionable?

    • I’m sure they would find it objectionable, just like how many reacted negatively to the draft, but it was imposed anyways.

      The government should have far less control and power over individuals and businesses than it currently does.
