facebook chose to censor themselves, not the government

There’s a better way of framing this issue. FB is a private company and if you actually take the time to read their pages and pages of end user agreement, they can do just about everything that they did.
But, why didn’t they just come out earlier and say what they were going to do, rather than having to rack a panel of congressmen and waste taxpayer dollars for Markie to finally say what was always suspected.
Just say it – – we’re a politically (BLANK) leaning privately held organization and will be participating in things that are of interest to our position. Good ole Caveat Emptor.
I am not on FB because I sat down beforehand and read that damned user agreement. I’m not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but, one of the parts of legal mumbo jumbo that didn’t go over my head was the agreement to share copyright.
By posting on their platform, you agree to share the copyright to anything you post there. Songs. Art. Poetry. Writing. They’re your new creative partner. Markie can go completely out of business with outrage and boycott, and then walk into court and take half of everyone on the platform’s earnings of their copyrighted material.
Let it be a lesson to everyone, everywhere. The freest of speech is not to be found on social media platforms. But, agendas are bountiful.
