Exactly. Your list of friends does not belong to Facebook, it belongs to you. I am sure Facebook believes they deserve a monopoly for having obtained it first.

I am sure Facebook believes they deserve a monopoly for having obtained it first. They do not. The market forces you to compete for every dollar you earn, so you have every right to expect Facebook to compete for every dollar they earn, and "I touched it first therefore it's mine!" is not competition.
- blantonl 4y agoBut, but, but..... you agreed that Facebook does own your friends list when you signed up for an account and started giving them all your data. If I run a restaurant, and I stipulate that when you walk through the doors and place an order I reserve the right to take your picture and post it on the bulletin board, why would you place the order and then get pissed off when I post a picture of you on the bulletin board? And why would you be mad at me if I stipulated that no one else can use a camera in my restaurant? Terms of service, my friend. Unless prohibited by legislation, I can stipulate how things run in my restaurant.
- jjoonathan 4y agoIf your bulletin board somehow let you monopolize the restaurant industry (? lol) then we should absolutely vote for some politicians to boot your entitled ass back into competition. Obviously, the idea of a bulletin board granting a restaurant an effective monopoly is ridiculous so your analogy is trash, but even if your analogy wasn't trash, your conclusion would still be wrong.
