I agree with you but a lot of the analogies and metaphors here are insufficiently subtle. FB in some sense, but not entirely, is a form of speech, no better or worse than Grand Theft Auto or the National Enquirer. That's how I thought of it ten years ago. Now that it is in our pockets nearly cradle to grave; a monopoly; and dependent on minutes of engagement rather than subscriptions -- it is a different animal altogether.
