    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Consent requires meaningful alternatives; without exit options, actors cannot freely choose to accept competitive risks.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Dominant firms exploiting unavoidable dependency differs morally from competition among equals with symmetric exit choices.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Market theory presumes voluntary participation; trapped participants cannot voluntarily accept terms they cannot refuse.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Lack of exit doesn't negate consent to participation itself; actors still choose engagement even with constrained options.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Many valuable relationships (family, citizenship, employment) involve limited exit yet retain consensual moral force.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Distinguishing 'consented' from 'imposed' requires defining acceptable exit costs, which varies by context and theory.
      ?
