Conversely, you can justify any authoritarian unjust law because "that's how we like it."

"Deporting brown people without due process? That's how we like it, who are you to complain? You're free to not work with the US, but we know you will!"

Obviously a nuanced and meaningful conversation goes much deeper than "that's how we like it." Why is it such an infringement on user rights to not be allowed to use a website if they don't follow the owner's terms of use? That is unaddressed.

Funny choice of example considering that it is the US that is currently deporting people without due process.

Yes, that is the precise example I used to demonstrate why "we like it that way" is not good policy. I don't get what's so funny.
