Everyone thinks these “terms and conditions” are extreme BECAUSE they dont realize who facebook really belongs to. Yet they have gotten people to mark EXACTLY where they are at given times and tell exactly what they do frequently. What upholds facebook? What backs it up? Who really wants to know the business inside the private lives of ordinary people? Social networks are the easiest way ..

I was wondering, while viewing a video in vimeo, the sponsored ad was a picture of my facebook profile pic and my name was written on an ad of an email site. What could be the possible reason for this? Somehow connected with this huh?

Btw, great post!

UPDATE

Facebook has now suspended the new TOS in response to public outcry.

I agree Michael what a joke, this is clearly for tabloids and paparazzi in the future. How many upcoming celebs use Facebook, or American IDOL wannabe’s. They want someone to get popular and sell to People magazine or TMZ.

EXCELLENT POST, Thank you

UPDATE

Facebook.com has now issued a statement defending the change to the Terms of Service on their blog:

Pretty uncompelling if you ask me.

Basically they say, trust us to do the right thing with your content.

Yeah right.

If you don’t have plans to use the content why do you take ownership of it and give yourself the right to re- license it or use it in any way you desire?

[...] used to say that you could take back ownership of the data if you closed your account. No more. Now they own it forever, even if you decide you want to take it [...]

The issue is that 95%+ of Facebook users don’t even know that the TOS changed 2 weeks ago, since Facebook did not let them know.

What content the new rules would apply to is another question.

A question that is going to be very expensive for someone to challenge.

The only information that should be not deleted is content that is added after the TOS has been updated. The content that has been uploaded prior to the TOS update should be ‘grandfathered’ in on that TOS. Correct me if I’m wrong..?
