As things stand, Facebook has no responsibility beyond those required by law and market. This is not an endorsement of anything, but a reminder of the reality.


No, they have no legal responsibilities beyond those required by law.

If they behave unethically we can certainly complain about it, and possibly take some kind of action if we feel strongly enough (e.g. boycott).


Like I said, they have a responsibility defined by the market. I’m not sure how your argument extends their responsibility any more than I did.

You comment concerning the users’ freedoms is, sure, correct; that’s the market I’m talking about.

Please clarify your argument if you have one.
