It seems that the analogy breaks down badly when the "private property" is treated 99.9% of the time as a public property, and the entire world is invited (except for those with important political messages that don't go well with advertising).

I'm not saying Facebook isn't Mark's to do with as he pleases, but... something isn't right here.

Don't confuse Facebook with the Internet. One has terms and conditions and policies and moderators and shateholders, the other does not.

If our governing authorities took measures to pull such photos from the web, then we'd have a problem worth protesting. If Facebook.com pulls the photo and points to its policies as the reason... then simply publish the photo elsewhere.
