Interesting distinction and like all things; the devil is in the details.
It reminds me of a story I read about a prominent News Network Fox News Network being sued for factual misrepresentation on a story.
The outcome of the case hinged on whether they were a “News” organization with a responsibility to fact checking versus an Entertainment Show. Much to the chagrin of the Fox News Reporters their lawyers argued they were an Entertainment Network, not a News Network and won the case.

This is what is going to happen more and more. Eventually they are going to trap themselves in a corner and pay the price.
I am hoping that soon people will wake up to Steem.
I am hoping too that people will wake up to steem soon.
I do agree with what you have put forward, but it is important to remember, publishers such as steemit.com can choose not to display your content as a private company.
Steem is the platform (implemented on a blockchain), but steemit is a rendering tool (essentially a browser) for viewing material on that platform. Whether they choose to display it or not does not change the fact that the material is still available to another rendering tool. Facebook data is only accessible through Facebook apps/website.
I agree with your statement, just expanding on it, highlighting the inherent benefits of the steem platform :)
"Facebook data is only accessible through Facebook apps/website"
so true. the steem blockchain has so many advantages over web2 and there are more benefits than just this. however, this is one of the benefits I spoke about myself on the recording I did last week for an upcoming online summit I am presenting at. we just need to get people to see the light :-)
Yes, the interfaces on Steem can act as publishers as they choose, which gives Steem the flexibility in the same way the internet gives the potential to Facebook to exist in whatever form it takes.
Me too. What did you think of @aggroed’s presentation on the future of the Steem Engine DEX?
I was excited about the Steem-Dollar pairing making it easy to transfer money in and out of Steem and his ideas about trading anything on the DEX.
Hoping that the interface improvements are significant, as currently it is unwieldy.
@aggroed showed a demo view of the becoming DEX - candlesticks are coming!
Hopefully they integrate better ways to manage so many tokens as every day there is another one added to the list
