Well that's just a silly point of view. If you post something to a commercial entity, in general that thing is no longer yours. You gave it to them. No backsies.
Seriously, this is how it has worked for years. Don't feel "betrayed". You chose to use their service, and post reviews on it. On the web, if you don't pay for the hosting, it ain't yours.
- code_duck 12y agoThat may be the logical point of view, but it's difficult to get that across to millions of people. Regardless of whether it is a justified feeling, some users felt betrayed, and their reaction was to stop using the app.
