The actual marketplace is *extremely* regulated. Labeling requirements, FDA rules, OSHA inspections, etc. A truly "free" market would be a fucking nightmare and so would a "free" marketplace of ideas.with quote tweet:

@RottenInDenmark Part of a working marketplace is that Consumer Reports and the BBB don't endorse products that are obviously broken.
"The marketplace of ideas" means you *don't* platform scams. Being generous to junk is not how a marketplace is supposed to work.
