Social medium as dictatorship

> If slavery were legal, then they would use indentured workers

This sounds extreme and funny but it's not really. Anywhere in the world, the main purpose of a company is to make as much money as it is legally possible. So of course companies will by design try to get as close as possible to the limits and will constantly adjust. It is that simple.

So even the US has laws and regulations: slavery, child labour, ... minimum wage even in some places! Yes it has far fewer than Europe and yes that makes US corporations more profitable - at some expense for workers, environment, healthcare, life expectancy, education, etc. The cursors are just moved further on the right, that's all. But "cursors" and numbers make neither a good story nor a good fight in the comments section; for that you need things even more simplistic and binary than a cursor; you need good guys and bad guys, breaking news and news, etc.
