But I'm sure that if I "purchased" anything for their Swindle eBook reader or
any of their media, I would have lost access to it.

You need to be in better groups on Facebook.  :)

Right now, my Facebook is used to stay in touch with older family members who
don't want to learn something else, and to share with other geeks with my
interests.

They did restrict me a while back during the scamdemic when I posted some memes
that broke their Narrative, but since I don't use Facebook to make money, I
really didn't care.

Sort of like the Walmart Effect:
They build a store just outside of a town, sell things for a very small profit
to reduce prices and kill off the town business.  Once the town business are
gone, they close the store and consolidate into a "super store" 30+ minutes
away.

Amazon sells stuff so low that people buy only from them, then the local
businesses stop selling those products because no one buys from them.  Now you
are "forced" to buy from Amazon.
