They aren't "kept". They have a choice.
If Facebook demands you make a video of you spinning on one leg reciting their TOS before you use their service, it's your choice to abide and they aren't forcing you.
The false analogy of "we wouldn't have won ww2" doesn't have a premise. If you want to win this "war" you must pick your battles, and going in their territory to "free people from the ghetto" is done by spreading the word of other alternatives through leet speak.

Yes, was given a choice : here's a platform where you are free to post about yourself, and share and find and meet lost friends and family...
Once the userbase is around a billion (probably counts bots), and the platform is pervasive, they are now acting like your phone company. A utility to connect people.
Also, people have built the value of the platform...
So, it's like if you helped build the telephone grid, then, once established they decide "ok, you are ONLY allowed to talk about the weather, or we will remove you from the platform you helped build."
BEST CASE, we are looking at monopoly practices that saw microsoft split up as a company.
Oh, and as a bonus, they get government money, which makes it government sanctioned censorship.
BTW - the analogy to WW2 does have a premise : That if our parents / grandparents (not sure your age) had had the attitude of cowardice that you are expressing, we would all be giving nazi salutes.
I'm not talking about ownership. I'm talking about treating this like a war.
Like it or not, WW4 is going on and it is for the hearts and minds of the people of the planet.
So, we can act like the jews and hope for escape, we can act like the french and give in, or we can act like the russians and show these fuckers who really runs the show.
Nah, you just missed the reference...
Actually, you seem to have missed or misunderstood EVERY reference, to a degree where I would guess it was intentional.
Have a good day.
You were better off letting me think you were an idiot, thanks for clearing up the little bit of doubt.
Edit to clarify : You did this by showing how little you grasped of what I said, and how far you had to spin the parts of what you did get right to maintain the narrative you need.
