- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

There's a big gap between what you're describing and the USA. We pretty regularly see fines that are a fraction of what the crime earned, if it's prosecuted at all. We also have an utterly insane far right wing party and a spineless right party.
We should break up match group. It's not a whole ass monopoly, but it has such a big market share it doesn't really need to compete much. So it offers garbage, makes a lot of money because there aren't a lot of other like options (and people don't realize the apps are all owned by Match)
Yeah, that's my point. It's not that capitalism can't be regulated, it's that the US can't regulate capitalism sufficiently enough.
Agreed. So many monopolies out there that people barely realize are monopolies because a parent company owns a bunch of different "competing" brands rather than running everything under one brand name. Match Group is one of them.
