Paternalism, that's exactly that we have been suffering since before we were born, and it's increasing. I think the Internet has given ways for individuals to get information so easily that there are now aggressive restrictions put in place. Of course in the form of self gratifications, sense of duties;fb is here to protect us.

I find these moves good, they show their cards, more and more people will hopefully start questioning the paternalism and finally questions all these taxes we are forced to pay as well. Our bank accounts or at least transactions that may be frozen any time due to merely suspect acticity. The need for a business specific license for each and everything one can do, even to basically cut bread in half for customers. Border controls not allowing us to import/export a gazillion products for x and y security reasons, and, i will say it, the near obligation to take some vaccine shots to be able to move around the globe.

The people whose attitudes don't align with Facebook will recognize this paternalism for what it is. Those people whose attitude align with Facebook won't. That's been my experience with these kinds of things.
