This is a screed that does not address a single point of the actual philosophical issue.
The issue is a debate between what the expectations are for content posted on the public internet. There is the viewpoint that it should be totally machine operable and programmatic and if you want it to be private you should gate it behind authentication, that the semantic web is an important concept and violating it is a breach of protocol. There's also the argument that it's your content, no one has a right to it, and you should be able to license its use anyway you want. There is a trade off between the implications of the two.
