Did I say that's it's wrong and/or surprising? No, I did not. I'm saying that you might not be able to access your own content, so keep your own copy of it.

You may not find it surprising that FB might suddenly make your content inaccessible "for reasons", but many people do. Readers of HN might not be among them, but some of their friends and family will.
So this is providing Chapter and Verse for HN people to quote to those who do find it surprising.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoIt seems strange that anyone wood ever assume they control something held by someone else with no contract in place and ToS they surely didn't read. Anyone who thinks their free Facebook account is something like a bank safe deposit box (which even still is short on guarantees) is... strange.
- ColinWright 6y agoDo you genuinely think people realise this? it's all so obvious to you ... and to me ... and yet every time I talk to people about it, they are astonished that they their content might be made inaccessible with no warning. Try speaking to non-technical people, look at the stories of outrage that circulate. I suspect you're in a bubble. You know these things, and assume everyone else does. I'm telling you that the majority of people I talk to have no clue. So this submission was giving people a precise reference to quote.
