I tried to view a page on Facebook, which is a posting about a political issue. I used wget as usual, and all I got was something telling me to log in first.

I think the proper rule is that a link to a page on Facebook is ok provided it can be viewed without running nonfree JS code and without logging in. Indeed, I would suggest that as the basic condition for acceptable links to any site. If the purpose of the link is to suggest people look at the contents of the page, then the link is ok provided people can see the contents without identifying themselves and without running nonfree software. In the special cases where the purpose of the link is something else (such as to donate), then it needs to be judged according to that purpose. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
