A de facto standard is a standard (formal or informal) that has achieved a dominant position by tradition, enforcement, or market dominance. It has not necessarily received formal approval by way of a standardisation process, and may not have an official standards document. (wikipedia)

In other words, the people decide the standard,Β 
NOT WHO
NOT CDC
NOT FB
NOT TWR
NOT YT
NOT the Democrat Party
NOT the GOP
NOT anyone but We the People

It's called LIBERTY.
