jleger2023 (npub1t9a…h4uw) on principle, I agree with you.
But when it comes to a free market, the “businesses and services”sector has the right (and IMO obligation) to choose who they do business with.
Perhaps it’s true that “the market will decide” and the scummy scammers will be repeatedly blocked, over the long term, but how many people will they harm in the short term?
FWIW, I don’t expect us to find an answer tonight. This is a timeless philosophical question around the balance between unlimited freedom and “freedom to be”.
I believe that true liberal/libertarian freedom offers “maximal freedom as long as you don’t harm your neighbor” — Rawls is one of my favorite politics philosophers.
But it’s a conversation worth having, repeatedly, to help find the healthy equilibrium 🫂💜
