Comment You're misinterpreting the "right" to make a proft (Score 1) 253
Yes, under capitalism you have the "right" to make a profit in the sense that you are "allowed" to do so. But, you're not protected from losing that profit due to competition of any kind. If a consumer is informed of the poor list of blocked sites, for instance -no matter who tells them what that list is- they have a right to verify that that information is correct and to use that information to make an informed decision on what they're buying. This is the very reason they put the "Nutrition Facts" and ingredients labels on food products. To inform the consumer of the contents of that product, and allow the consumer to purchase or not purchase that product due to dietary needs and desires. The original argument would be akin to saying that a company could choose not to place the ingredient "strychnine" in their ingredient list because they would probably "loose money". Furthermore, it would prevent chemists from chemically analyzing --breaking the chemical code, in a manner of speaking-- the food to find out what it contains.
