    It’s also a private company and they can do whatever they want on their platform and their property.

    It’s like renting space in an apartment … don’t be surprised if the landlord decides to change the agreements and do things you don’t like. You’re renting things, you don’t own anything.

      You can’t arbitrarily change agreements for renting without consent or lease renewal. At least not in civilized countries.

      Your argument is cargo-cult libertarian bullshit. There are lots of things private entities can’t do on “their property!” Murdering visitors, for example. Fraudulently claiming a sale isn’t really a sale is right up there with that in terms of how clear-cut the rule is.

      What we have here is squarely a failure of the FTC to do its goddamn job. Nothing more, nothing less.
