Senator Kennedy of Louisiana confronted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the transparency of the social media company's policies on Tuesday.

[...]

"I'm going to suggest you go home and rewrite it, and tell your $1,200 dollar and[sic] hour lawyer...you want it written in English not Swahili, so the average American user can understand," Kennedy said.

    You're suffering a complete failure of logic, or getting the wrong end of the wrong stick.

    Him: free-market solution
    You: No, if that, then stuff

    You've completely ignored the situation "there was no free market" scenario.

    In the absense of a free market, his free market solution wouldn't work, because it wouldn't be given a chance to work. And indeed, his free market solution was never even tried. All of your stuff is irrelevant to the point that GPP was trying to make - that the market isn't as free as you like to believe it is.
