Lem Bos blocked me on Facebook because I shared his public profile photo or avatar which read, "I don't care if you had your vaccination or not." https://www.facebook.com/bosquesl . The reason I shared it was that it is a hashtag challenge type of thing which thousands of people are doing on Facebook, Twitter, etc. The reason people share them is to encourage people to use common sense in life, to seek after truth, natural remedies, and such. There are Facebook settings, people can share their posts with only themselves or with only their friends or with friends of friends or make it so the whole world can see it. . Yeah, some people may not realize the technical possibilities of Facebook and technology in general. I can talk all day about it and about the different hashtags, memes, GIFs, etc. . This particular meme thing is a pretty popular one, it is simply a frame that can be placed over a profile photo that has a message on it and it can be anything and this one I believed said something like I have an immune system. . Such a meme counters the other memes you might find going around Facebook and the difference between a stranger sharing a public picture (avatar) and the mere fact that pictures end up in people's timelines regardless is simply semantics. . Me sharing a photo, to use an analogy, would be like ABC sharing a photo of Michael Jordan dunking a basketball at a public game. And then imagine NBC or another television news channel like NBC or CBS sharing a photo or video of the same dunk. Well, if it's the same exact photo, then ABC might say the photo is copyrighted. And that is kind of silly as thousands of people could have taken the same photo or close to it at that same second. And if you do share a photo, a video, etc, it might be and could possibly in some cases be covered under Fair Use and plus a thing called Safe Harbor and then there is the element of what is the Internet which plays a factor in all of this. I ramble because I am passionate about this subject of Fair Use and other such related topics and have been for years and I write about these things on my websites and in my videos, to be continued....... . And by the way, I thought that person or those people above wanted more people to see the message they were broadcasting. . To use another analogy, a picture is like a radio show and people who share a public picture is/are like different radio stations who end up airing the radio show and imagine a radio show calling up radio stations saying, "Hey, stop sharing my radio show, I do not want my public radio show to be too public even tho the whole world can see it, I want to pretend like the world cannot see what they can in fact see."
