Why do people join Facebook, when it's owned

Well, of course the sociopaths and perverts to which you refer are
not
on my friends list, so they don't have any meaningful impact on my
Facebook experience.
I mean "own" in the sense of ownership, not the game-world newspeak
own.
I knew that's what you meant: the people who founded it and run it and
hold stock in it: that sort of ownership. Not "own" as in "I _own_ my
inflated sense of importance and self-righteousness about the management
of a certain social network."
What I didn't know (because you didn't say 'til now) is that you had a
specific axe to grind with them (their censorship of breastfeeding).
And as to others who may actually enjoy the company of sociopaths and
perverts: who are you to judge? :-)
It's not the people that join that are sociopaths and perverts, it's
the people that control the site that are sociopaths and perverts.
Gotcha. The judges would also have accepted "misogynists and prudes".
Only a sociopath and pervert can think that breastfeeding is
pornography. It's disrespectful to breastfeeding (and to pornography
too, but wfc?)
One could create images of breastfeeding that are pornographic, and
others that are not. These guys seem to think that the line lies
further towards Victorian tastes than yours. You think that makes
them sociopaths and perverts (see, I'm totally paying attention).
All the billions that g*vernments invest all the time to make mothers
breastfeed, and those sociopaths and perverts create a Social Network
that criminalizes it. They should be exiled to Antarctica.
As long as the site continues and I can keep in touch with my friends
and family on it, they can live in friggin' *Brazil*, for all I care.
Dave
