We can all pick the analogy to suit our argument.

You pick a cafe. I'll pick the phone company. Would it be out of line to ask phone companies to reconsider allowing mobs to use their services?

(Let's temporarily ignore the legal position phone companies have - they are explicitly protected by the law and not held liable).

I think we all agree phone companies should reconsider allowing telemarketers to buy lines from them.

Also start revoking lines and blocking calls from known telemarketers!

I'll pick the phone company

The phone company isn't calling me up and telling about about all the stuff the angry mob has been up to and inviting me to join in on their next conference call.

The phone company is also not giving the angry mob your number and telling them you probably like the cut of their jib.

I think trading analogies is more healthier than the Ben-Shapiro-I-win-because-I-sound-smarter-than-you style of debate.

We can trade analogies. And figure out where Facebook should lie, on the spectrum of analogies.

But it is not like a phone company at all, it is a publicly accessible space not a point to point communication mechanism.
