The #Libertarian argument “Facebook and Twitter are a free enterprise, they can do whatever they want, if you don’t like it, go elsewhere” is a false equivalence fallacy, because the assumption is that the social media landscape is a free market, when it is not.

In a free market, there is an elsewhere to go because there is meaningful competition, but when social media giants used the free market to corner and close the market, collude against compeititon, and have their business partners deplatform competitors, you have corporatism.

There is no free market with a monopoly, there is nowhere else to go, and when one’s business has been deplatformed by an ever changing TOS that’s designed to use operant conditioning to engineer acceptable speech, you have a corporate violation of the non-aggression principle.

This whole thing reminds me of the mindless argument, “If you don’t like it here in this country, just move to another country then.” Well wouldn’t that be nice if globalism wasn’t a reality that has created a single global monopoly on governance, eh?
