You are free to start up your own competing platform if you don't like how one is run. See reddit/voat.

I'm not sure how creating (more) laws that govern how businesses are run will somehow result in more freedom?

I don't think the success/failure of that specific venture has anything to do with the argument I made, but ok?

To pick the most offensive analogy possible:

You are free to start up your own competing government if you don't like how one is run.

I'm not sure how creating (more) rights that govern how governments are run will somehow result in more freedom?
