Why are you bootlicking for trillion dollar corporations? I would think on a forum this technical you could realize that the dynamic of and the philosophy behind these TOS's is not laudable.

The real "cry me a river" here is for the FB terms of service - someone violated them to produce a popular product people like!

Yes.

Facebook - and Whatsapp and maybe Instagram too - need to be reframed as a global public utility rather than a private enterprise.

It would take some doing... But they're too big, too powerful, and too spooky to be allowed continue as they are.

"But that's not fair to the founders and shareholders!" - Fuck 'em. Facebook has done so much damage: amplifying misinformation, polarizing societies, warping our most vulnerable minds, selling scams, etc. Shareholders ought to count their blessings they haven't been held responsible yet. They made their money - enough.
