By your logic, remembering that Facebook and twitter are businesses, if I, as a news channel owner, decide I don’t want your content on my channel, I’m censoring you?

This is news to me. So if someone was using my lawn as a shortcut for 5 years (without a contract) and now I wanted to grow food, I'm shit out of luck?
Yes. It's called a prescriptive easement (in some states "long user"). You still have all the rights of ownership except you can't use the property in a way that interferes with the shortcut, nor forbid that neighbor's use of the shortcut.

So how does thay work if the neighbour has been using your property for shortcut outside your knowledge? Let's assume for the sake of the discussion that the shortcut isn't evident from repeated use...

You have an obligation to help enforce your own property rights. You should be paying attention at least occasionally over the course of five years.

In Portugal any interior plot of land that doesn't confront a public road has permanent "right of passage" through his neighbor. It's still private but the neighbor can't use that stretch for anything except as passage, forever.

Different jurisdictions have different rules. iirc common law prescriptive easement in UK is 20 years. In any case, it may be legal, but so is eminent domain which no libertarian supports, so the argument is less legal vs ethical. To me the ethical case is not very convincing yet

And this isn’t just some obscure legal principle but a central and well used one. The body of jurisprudence on acquiring land rights by prescription is huge. Very many fascinating cases where long term users of land have been afforded protection by the courts.

Seems more reasonable to have a period where the property owner gives some form of advisory about how the property shall be used, if conditions were hitherto unclear or changed—e.g. placing a 'No Trespassing' to inform shortcutters.

What happens if you buy a piece of property and a month or two after the purchase date you find out the neighbor has been using the shortcut for the past 5 years?

What is the relevance? Dafuq?

Maybe try reading the last few tweets...

@NickSzabo4 easements were an early property ISA? Forced by the state but an ISA
