Re: [Trisquel-users] How to date girls using free software :P

We have free media. Whether one considers Facebook free media or not, we  
still have access to free media. Facebook doesn't try to oppress every type  
of media it can, but rather it collects data about its users. Therefore,  
Facebook is not an attack on our civil liberties. It is completely optional  
for users and optional to submit data to it.

To make an analogy, Facebook is a tolled bridge on an river that flows  
downstream for an infinite amount of miles. Anyone can build their own bridge  
on this river, or use already set up non-tolled bridges. By tolling the  
people who cross the Facebook bridge, is Facebook really oppressing the  
entire river and both sides of it? No. They are just making it convenient for  
users who are in that area, but for a cost.
