      Lots of public parks have signs posted outlining which behaviors are acceptable and unacceptable within the park, which you must adhere to or face ejection. There are also lots of laws and ordinances governing conduct in the park that you implicitly agree to by entering

      You're right, you don't agree to a literal user agreement but you agree to something that is analogous in the context of public parks.

      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.

      you keep saying "accessible to the general public" when you mean "has many members and is easy to join." the two are not the same. facebook is also exclusive, and getting approval to join facebook is conditioned on you allowing the company to leverage you to make money

      OK. The general point is that the "public square" conception, I think, allows greater opportunity for democratic oversight and control to be exerted on these oligarchic behemoths. That's what fundamentally animates my position. Anyway, interesting discussion and have a good day!

      no michael it wasn't an interesting discussion. it was a massive waste of time. making the case that facebook should be broken up or regulated is in no way contingent on thinking alex jones shouldn't have been banned, and it's powerfully bizarre to conflate the two

      I was definitely wrong about that, and it caused me to re-evaluate my views on the subject

          I would label people as fact-checked and delete threatening, harmful or racist posts instead. However, I think this shouldn’t require other sites to do this, which to me is essential to include crazy people’s good ideas

          A little late, but what the fuck: when I go to a public park, someone at the front gate doesn't hand me a set of unique keys for accessing the park which they control and manage.
