I just realized I'm not interested in this internet back-and-forth "but you are wrong" thing. It's absolutely pointless. Hopefully we don't get to enjoy the socialism people are trying to bring back.

>You're wrong, simple as that. Being dominant simply is not enough.

Yeah, I'm gonna bet on me and my law degree for being right about that. Whether Facebook is in a dominant position is for the court to decide.

You on the other hand are a funny... dude. Haha, "dude" he says :)

Gees, I don't know. The world is ending. Give all the people free monies. It will end well. We are all brothers and humans are great.

It's not a replacement for gym membership. It's a full time job. You can't do anything else than work in the field, eat and sleep. People did that their entire lives so they can send their kids to school to have a better life and you are advocating to go back to this?

Have you grown food, ever?

Zara has a very unique marketing/manufacturing/logistic model.

Why do you think we need to do that? The economy will sort itself out as it always has. The job market will just shift. Some jobs will stop being, others will be more in-demand, which will create entirely new ones.

It's pretty easy to understand. Nokia was bought by the previous CEO.

This is just pointless drivel. Do you understand why taxation exists at all? Government is not some arbitrary institution that just sits there and gets money. The government is the people. The french people say "if you want to do business with us, you have to pay for the privilege". The government is the vehicle to facilitate this. Less Ayn Rand, more real economics and politics before criticizing, please.

There are clear methods to decide if a company has dominant position or not. It has nothing to do with whether you can use another one or not. Perhaps you don't have an idea what you are talking about.

Oh you really meant soon. Great, thanks!

Anti trust law does not deal only with monopolies. It is about companies with dominant positions.

Is facebook a company with dominant position?

No worthwhile ideas to pursue. Microsoft Research does a lot of idea pursuing nevertheless.

According to anti-trust law.

traildb-r link to gihub is 404. Checked the account. No repo for R :(

Governments tax generated income or goods sold or imported. Your question is non pertinent.

>Comcast could carry only conservative channels without issue.

This is nonsense. When there is concentration in information distribution, the distributor must allow anyone and everyone equal access to the channel.

Yeah, I'm sure there is a congressional probe because they're allowed to do anything they want. I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg felt that he had to adress this himself because clearly they can do anything they want.

You look confused. Probably because people want to call facebook "social media" and Fox News is also called "media".

Fox News produces editorial content. They are entitled to their opinion thanks to the first Amendment. Facebook is a delivery channel. They do not produce editorial content so they are not allowed to have bias in the very same way that your TV set is not allowed to receive only conservative news channels.

edited for a better analogy.

>I'm saying Google's paid all the taxes it's legally required

You don't know that. The court will say if this is true or not. How can you make this judgement? Do you have a law degree? Do you have experience in international tax law? Have you seen all the relevant paperwork?

>But yes, I do believe the French government spends enough already

This is not pertinent to the case. If you want the french government to tax less, go and vote for it. Campaign for it. What would happen if everybody disregards any law they don't agree with?

I'm not even sure why you saying this. Google does not pay its taxes in France.

Education, healthcare and law enforcement is what makes people prosperous. How do you propose to have them without taxes?

Or are you saying that French government spends enough already and thus Google should avoid paying taxes if they don't feel like it?

This idea is in place for every government, everywhere in world, at any point in history.

Google makes money in France. Given France's economy size, it's probably billions. They need to pay taxes to the french government for the privilege of doing business there, so the government can sped it on schools and other infrastructure, so the french citizens can be prosperous.

This is about stolen credit cards. What do vulnarabilties have to do with it?

How would that make a difference?

This is on exactly the opposite side of the spectrum from amateur hour.

Uhm... and the demand for advertising? What happened to it? And exports? What about them?

If they have their CCs maxed out for clothes and bar tabs, of course that's gonna be the case.

I can see that.

Please stop with this heart-breaking narrative about the unequal in income, starving americans. It's about iphones and clothes, not groceries.
