Peter,
You are right.and truly we are spoiled for choice
It is very satisfying to observe that some entries from professional photographers are nowadays explicitly stating their CC-BY-SA licences fo rCommons do not enable their copyrighted works to be uploaded to Facebook (and by implication to similar sites).
eg: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Cccefalon/fb
And yet, I see that the Wikimedia volunteers on Facebook blissfully uploading "Pictures of the day" ignorant of all the legalese
eg: https://www.facebook.com/Wikimedia.Commons/posts/1127382660617355:0 https://www.facebook.com/Wikimedia.Commons/posts/1120943991261222:0
