homie it can't be a public square because "the public" doesn't have unlimited access to these spaces. they've always been subject to moderation and user agreements and codes of conduct, they are by definition not public

you're not making the point the point you think you are making. it is true that in all places, man is subject to laws. the question is the conditions under which we can gain access to a place. i don't think you can dispute that fb is more like a country club than a public park

I do dispute that. I think it's much closer to a public park. Country clubs are avowedly exclusive and don't purport to be accessible to the general public, whereas FB is by design accessible to the general public.
