Some social media websites should brand their service as a renting service. I'm ok with a social app saying they do not support unlimited free speech and anything and everything you can imagine. But if you do it, make it clear what the rules are or make some main points regarding the contract between the service and the users. I would brand at least an aspect of the service as renting as opposed to absolute and alleged virtual user ownership of an account. So, imagine going back in time to the origin of Facebook in 2004. Mark Zuckerberg should not have said in interviews that Facebook was a platform for all ideas. Instead, he should have said Life Log is a publisher for renting temporary broadcasting space. Of course, the marketing for that would be less appealing but also closer to the truth to how things really are. Now, due to monopolies like Facebook, too many people globally expect unlimited photo and video hosting. But at the same time, the general public accepts censorship to an excessive degree.................
