Disagreed. They are de-facto mandatory to use. A former university I was at, for instance, published some required information on facebook. Saying "well, they should not do that" is as correct as it is useless and futile in practice.
I believe the information was visible to either all logged-in users or just all visitors, but that still requires facebook to serve the page to me.
- jakelazaroff 4y agoYou can say this about anything, though. "My university requires us to use Blackboard, therefore it's a de facto monopoly." "My work email account is through Gmail, therefore it's a de facto monopoly." They're still not. If another party requires you to use a service for some reason, that's between you and the other party.

- jakelazaroff 4y agoReplace "monopoly" with "common carrier" and my comment still reads the same.
