Re: Free Market at work
Uh huh. We know the reaction if they kicked You Can Play off for promoting immoral and repugnant behavior. Nice try though, your "free market" takes are always amusing as the freedom flows in just one direction.

But, alas, their site has been hosted since Day 1 of their organization. They're not getting booted anytime soon because of what the organization does.awesome guy wrote:LOLnolanvt wrote:Well, they're not.

With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.

You'd call it a crime to not want to do business with any LGBWTF group.

Do domain registrars have some sort of government-sanctioned monopoly power?
I assume most people here would agree that someone like, say, Dominion Power should not be permitted to refuse to provide service to a hate group. Dominion Power, having government-sanctioned monopoly power, is required to provide service to anyone within their territory who wants it.
If all of the government-sanctioned registrars refuse to register things they don't like, and the free market is not free to establish a competing registrar, then doesn't that amount to a government-sanctioned restraint on speech?

They seem to have an instinct that once things settle down they have to go out and manufacture some chaos.

Not sure who "they" is, but I'm pretty sure you have argued that the baker, or photographer, or whoever, can choose to serve whoever they want.

As for public accommodation, I don't think there is any monopoly on domain registrars. There are probably 2,000 domain registars in the country.

Not at that level.

Google is certainly a monopolist in other areas though.
