Well in our managed economy (Since the SEC exists we don't really have a true "free market") will still have a very close to truly free market. Sure the government likes to come in with socialistic ideas to try and put a band-aid on the massive lay-offs that inevitably occur in a free market when a shitty company refuses to conform and ultimately dies (Car companies anyone? )

But essentially the "phoenix effect" still occurs. If a big company does a crappy job, it fails and a new, better company rises from the ashes.
Same thing with any company that tries to control free speech in the context of this argument. Big bad brother company enforces censorship, and it dies from lack up support and a new company arises.

They can never FORCE you to use their product. They can try and build a monopoly so the only viable option you have is their product, but then again theres still nothing stopping others from creating a superior one.

A persons unalienable rights are simply as they are, pure and untainted. People can spin whatever they want to try and take it away from you, but the bottom line is, they can't without brute force. And then they're breaking the law. The only organization that can truly run unchecked are governments as they ARE the standards. So it takes a revolution. And now we're getting into a whole other ball of wax. Thus a government that would truly be ran by the people, for the people is one that ebs and flows with the societal norms of the day. If 90% of people become brainless idiots who drool at their computer because they don't care they're being censored, then unfortunately that's the way the world is going to become. But guess what, if 90% of people don't care, then society has deemed that is the proper way for people to live. (Sociology anyone? )
