Friday Facts Part 2: Freedom of Speech = Money Article

While this article is a little extreme, it has some good points.

But, to make my little rant before I link it, I have to say this.

You do not have Freedom of Speech on Social Media.  Most social media companies are privately owned (or in Facebook's case, publicly owned, stock optioned technically owned by a private company) and what that means is that the Constitution does not apply to you.

Yes, you can get in trouble and be arrested for making threats on Facebook.  But Facebook is not a public forum or public entity.  It is owned by a private company and their rules and regulations are allowed to be enforced.

They are providing a "free service" which they "monetize" in many different ways.  So the article's title is really misleading.

That will end my soap box on Free Speech.

However, the point made in the article - engaging pages we like, engaging users we like, and interacting to keep our feed filled with what we want to see are good tips to help pages out.
