I find it unfortunate that the combination of greed and failed oversight and responsibility by government to ensure people's rights, has essentially led to the wholesale destruction of the distributed and decentralized internet in the post-facebook era.

Ascribing non-malicious intentions to Shopify, it seems their success has equally gone to their heads as it has gone to all the other tech companies, who have been inexcusably allowed to accumulate power far beyond what should have ever been permitted.

We must start insisting on that people's rights simply cannot be abused because a corporate entity claims to have more rights to choose than a private person. The standard for antitrust should be that if there are no alternatives for legal products and services in an industry, it is a clear sign that a monopoly exists and the companies must be broken up or must fund competitors until a state of equilibrium and rights are restored.
