Second this. A lot of the comments in this thread reveal some fundamental -- not "misunderstandings" because I'm pretty confident that we all know how the Internet works -- but perhaps "incorrect patterns of thinking/mental shorthands" about the Internet.
There are certain concepts that we often seem to forget when we're using the Internet day in and day out. Things like: "Facebook provides a service," "they're a private company," "you do not have an inalienable right to the service," "the service costs them money to provide," "content creators have certain IP rights to the content they create, but this does not translate into a fundamental right to use the Facebook service," "servers are real physical things," etc.
I can't believe how many people are going along with the whole "comparing Facebook to your rented apartment" line of thinking...
