Disney seems to have a different idea of "public domain" from you. Why don't I have the copyright to my life, if Disney has the copyright to Iron Man?

Of course you do (GP is wrong) at least for media which you create that clears the threshold for copyright.

The difference is that Disney grants license to its content after (potentially drawn out) negotiations and payments, while the typical Facebook users "Agrees and accepts to grant Facebook a worldwide license"

BTW it doesn't confer a license (mostly) to anybody else but normal users do not sue.
