Did the free market give HIV + kids in Africa medication or did the bill & Melinda gates foundation
Without the free market those meds wouldn't even exist in the first place. Without the free market the Gates Foundation wouldn't have ever been funded in the first place.

It is an extremely interesting problem from to analyze from the angles of political science/ sociology/ free market regulation/ technological advancement/ etc...
The current censorship/blocking of content and apps reminds me of United States v. Microsoft Corp.
Short synopsis
More in depth and how it compares to today's tech companies
It is one thing to ban a user under the guise of ToS violations. It is another thing to ban apps from the app marketplace because of rules that are not equally enforced. And with the unstated but implied goal of preventing competition from gaining traction.
Apple, Microsoft, and Google should probably tread lightly.
Last year when there was the neo-nazi hysteria after Charlottesville all of the platforms were banning Daily Stormer. Gab allowed them to post on their platform, a platform they claim did not censor people's freedom of speech. Google removed Gab from the Play Store, effectively removing them from the market of billions of Android users. Gab filed an antitrust lawsuit. Not sure what happened with it.

Yes, ISPs could theoretically decrypt TLS.
So after 5 posts of telling me how stupid I am and how it is not possible for ISPs to do that, you then agree with me that it is possible ?
