That's absolutely outrageous. Time to start fining the companies so blatantly discriminating against those whose political ideologies differ. How is this even legal in the USA?
It's not illegal. The main issue is not the discriminating part. The main issue is the near monopoly. If there wasn't a monopoly, if VISA blacklists you, you go to the other side of the street and sign a contract with the competitor. Problem is now that the same people own the company, the competitor, the second competitor, the international company trying to break into the country, and all the up and coming challengers.
Why would it not be illegal? They can't discriminate based on race, sex, sexual orientation and things like that but they can discriminate based on political leanings? I'm not saying the monopoly part isn't bad, been screaming about this for years that it's wrong, but I can't understand how all of these sites can just discriminate against people and claim the people are promoting violent rhetoric even when they are not. I hope to hell this backfires on all of these corporations and they get a well-deserved smackdown. They have far too much power and influence.
They can't discriminate based on race, sex, sexual orientation and things like that but they can discriminate based on political leanings?
They invent special words - "diffamation", "hate speech" and all other crap for it. They label everything they want with that words and it became "not kosher" for everybody in business. If some business have a deal with you, marked as supporter of "diffamation" or "hate speech" that business is marked too.
