Facebook Gets Rid of Public Video Sharing

In a small but significant change, Facebook has removed the text at the bottom of all videos which provides users with a way to publicly share those videos. Why Facebook decided to eliminate public video sharing I’m not quite sure. One reason could be that they simply want all individuals that view a video to be active users of the site.

What makes this change relatively significant is that it is a move toward become more of a walled garden and not less of one.
