This is true that he has more partners, but he has the most votes.

I'm not saying that I agree with what they did I'm just saying that its the way of capitalism. Look it worked the accounts are back up and it proves the system works. If no one made a stink then it would still have been the will of the people cause it would mean that it's not that important for them to be upset about. If he had chosen to not put the accounts back up people would have voted with there wallets and told his ad companies that they will boycott there products and they would have pulled there support and his company would go under or at least lose money. If you like capitalism have some faith in it working. The worst thing that could happen is a pro gun facebook style system showing up.
