      @Viostic1 What they are saying is the congress people should be more EDUCATED on the material they are discussing. You can't effectively interrogate people if you have no idea what you are interrogating them about. The congress people don't understand what they are talking about and can be seen repeating the same questions many times after being given an coherent and concise answer. This interrogation should have been preformed by people who have at least a little understanding of modern technology and the internet.

We didn't need social media we went to the playground and play ball threw the ball around we played tag we played hide-and-seek and then we got into our 8th grade years we walked up and down the neighborhood causing little bits of trouble and nothing major and then we got in high school we went out and met at the school yard and actually had contact with each other and then we got to college we would get out play a little ball go to some games watch other games and then all that s*** hit the fan and you don't see anybody out playing anymore so just want you to know

    • @notavailableatthemoment7623
      @notavailableatthemoment7623 2 роки тому +3

      depends what you mean when you say competition. everyone uses the app for different aspects of its service. for example, im sure facebook doesn't have a monopoly on messaging since thats more of snapchats thing. It does however have a monopoly on FACEBOOK (and yes instagram too but thats not the point). the point is that the metaphor the senetor uses doesn't really work because the two cars he mentioned doesn't really have much of a different in terms of usage purposes (simple way to say it is it gets you from point A to point B). HOWEVER, if the senetor used the metaphor of Tesla and a Ford, THEN it would make more sense because Tesla and Ford overlap in terms of geting from point A to point B but Tesla is electric while Ford is gas and DEPENDING ON THE PERSON'S PREFRENCE FOR THOSE PERTICULAR ASPECTS OF THE CAR, the person will choose one or the other. If you use the same logic the Senator is using, every company is a monopoly of its own company.

    Senator:"Why did you buy Instagram?"
    Me as Mark:"Why not?"
    "Because I can?"
    "What kind of question is that?"
    "Why are you questioning my choice?"
    "There are several reasons,one of them is because I'm rich."
    "I'm rich?"
    "Why did you ask a dumb question?"
    "Sorry, my system can't comprehend a dumb question like that."
    "Well,I like to make Business move,so I bought it to make my Business move."

    No matter how much you despise their opponent, a politician will always have you rooting for their opponent in less than 30 seconds. The only exception is when it’s politician vs politician, in which case you just leave and hope they both lose somehow.

      you didn’t let him explain. his competition can range to different apps and services it’s not as simple as comparing facebook to owning a car company and buying a car is a huge investment while using facebook isn’t a necessity AND FREE

    I don't think Facebook is a monopoly. A monopoly should be a basic product or a service, that people has no other choice, apart from consuming or buying it. For example, if there are no other gas pumps other than the ones owned by the Government, then the Government has a monopoly over gas distribution. But people do not have to consume (or use) Facebook in order to survive, it is not even a basic necessity. Just my two cents.

    I'm glad Lindsay is talking about competition....like our insurance companies and hospitals and big pharma-they have the monopoly over us- the govt needs to figure that industry out for us along with social media.
