You seemed to have selectively seized on the work "capitalist" in the OPs post. Nowhere does the post seem to be an attack on capitalism. The OP stated:

>"Having facebook, or any similar monolithic capitalist behemoth ..."

All three words together "monolithic" + "capitalist" + "behemoth" need to be taken together, it is not the same thing as the same as just saying "capitalist."

>"These services don’t control ‘the’ flow of information, they are entirely additive to what we had before."

Except they are not additive for groups that never consumed the older mediums in the first place:
