This is no surprise. It's what we get with a free market and capitalism driving it: Monopolization. And then we can only access what those mono/oligopolies deem profit increasing or at least not hurting.

How would a regulation be like, that in this case, without significant detriment to investment, makes things better? Because I cannot imagine one (not saying there is not, just that myself cannot find it) I’m in a context of an super-regulated EU market, where such things still somewhat happen (well even worst, with people having their homes and theirs relatives searched, because he called dumb a politician), bad wit…

I also can't think of a regulation that is without significant detriment to investment and makes things better here. But that is my point: "without significant detriment to investment" is what is most important in capitalism... Despite society crumbling

> I’m in a context of an super-regulated EU market, where such things still somewhat happen (well even worst, with people having their homes and theirs relatives searched, because he called dumb a politician), bad with the added problems, namely: there can just not exist such a giant in the EU.

I think state police forces acting beyond their power is an unrelated problem.

Such giants shouldn't exist and be for profit in my view. The issue is that the EU does not block the non-EU giants so Europeans also suffer from the less strict regulation.

Pedantically, all words are made up. I'd assume GP is using it because they see utility in a unambiguously-singular gender-nonspecific pronoun, opposed to the more widespread but somewhat ambiguous singular "they".

Yeah I also realized my wording probably wasn't right. I meant to say words not known by most of the English speakers which can also not be found in the big dictionaries (to be fair Oxford had it, but Merriam webster didn't).

Especially when there is an established gender neutral pronoun: they

I understand the desire for takedown requests on truly infringing content. But there will always be people who exploit those tools for bad faith takedowns, and because this kind of moderation is a loss leader for companies like Google and Bing it seems like they will forever be disincentivized from doing a good job. (We constantly hear similar stories about Youtube copyright strikes.) We have a legal system that's su…

What does the legal system have to do with companies deciding whats happening on their platforms? Do you want to force all companies to treat all content the same if it's not illegal?

Should I be worried that people think I'm a bigot if I write "they" about someone I don't know, now?

No.
