The analogy is still broken because the Facebook memo, although cold and calculating, is still blatantly sugarcoating what they do and why they do it. It's not about connecting people at heart, and they do it through much more nefarious means than simply potentially letting their tools fall into the hands of bad actors.

FB is like a phone company where everyone can call everyone else, all the time, in some type of huge broadcast style phonecall, where people who miss the calls can listen into the recording later. As a matter of fact, that's where the analogy between phones and the internet breaks down too.

I don't. Make comparisons, own them.

I feel you don't understand what your own words mean. You made a comparison, and someone pointed out that it was grossly inaccurate.
I’m not saying they’re like a phone company, I’m saying this would be the equivalent of a phone company saying what I said.
There’s a very clear difference.
I’m also not saying Facebook is a social good here, but those wrongs, valid or not, are tangential to the memo.
