alt Hacker News> People are worried about authoritarianism, yet meekly cede such powers to a corporation? It boggles the mind.
The libertarian answer is that corporations cannot threaten your freedom because you always have a choice of whether to deal with them or not.
The libertarian answer is also mostly bullshit, but there is a kernel of a seed of a nugget of truth in there somehow.
For sure, on both counts. I'm just a bit astonished at how many people continue to do business with them, especially anyone who strongly denounces authoritarianism.
