Calling Facebook A ?Democracy? Is An Insult To Democracy

If voting makes an organization democratic, then China is a democracy, since citizens are permitted to elect their (relatively powerless) local representatives. Calling an organization "democratic," when a tiny fraction of individuals select from a list of limited, pre-chosen options on one aspect of their experience, is an insult to the very concept of self-governance. Facebook's recent decision to revoke the process of "voting" on whether user information could be shared with its affiliates (i.e. Instagram) has given rise to an angry mob of civil rights groups decrying the end of democracy. Speaking as a professional writer, I can assure you this is media hype -- at its finest -- and think critics need a lesson in democratic theory.
