Why are you asking such an obvious question?
- mistermann 8y agoThat doesn't decrease the openness of the internet, just the "openness" of Facebook, doesn't it? I happen to think whether they should be allowed to do this considering their size is worthy of a public discussion, but it doesn't affect the overall internet, at least how I think of it.
