This is an interesting conundrum. On the one hand, I hate the idea of sites like FB using my posts as content for their marketing, but on the other hand, having NextDoor restrict who can see my content is also upsetting.
I might even say that NextDoor's restriction on my content is more upsetting because I expect everything I post on social media (which I do on purpose) to be part of the public domain. The idea that I, or reporters, can't use it as such, makes it seem like they are exercising ownership over my content.
