Great, thanks for the update! What are next steps for this? Can we take that as a decision to move forward with posting to social media then?

Last time I've checked Facebook ToS they wanted rights to sublicence assests with their terms.

That's still the case.

 

That is, of course, not compatible with any share-alike licence.

Which is also the view that at least one person gave me when I asked on #creativecommons a little while ago.

I've received some information from the Senior Counsel at Creative Commons. (As you'd expect, this can't be treated as concrete legal advice.) The main message is that, while the terms of service of social media sites do technically contravene the terms of Creative Commons licenses, in practical terms it probably isn't too much to worry about.
