facebook change

[michael555]

This group is for people to give input on Facebook's terms of use. These terms are meant to serve as the governing document for how the service is used by people around the world.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Here are responses to some of the things you've written below:

1. You own your information. Facebook does not. This includes your photos and all other content.

2. Facebook doesn't claim rights to any of your photos or other content. We need a license in order to help you share information with your friends, but we don't claim to own your information.

3. We won't use the information you share on Facebook for anything you haven't asked us to. We realize our current terms are too broad here and they make it seem like we might share information in ways you don't want, but this isn't what we're doing.

4. We will not share your information with anyone if you deactivate your account. If you've already sent a friend a message, they'll still have that message. However, when you deactivate your account, all of your photos and other content are removed.

5. We apologize for the confusion around these issues. We never intended to claim ownership over people's content even though that's what it seems like to many people. This was a mistake and we apologize for the confusion.

If you wanna give your personal information, and rights away ... join facebook

This was a mistake ...

No, joining Facebook is the mistake people make.


Rush, there has been a big stink from facebook people, it seems that, under the EUL, anything you posted on your/THEIR site was deemed theirs to do with as they saw fit ... especially copyright of your pics.

Me, I won't touch that place with a 40 foot barge pole.

Now it seems FB err, got it wrong ...

best joke this year I think

There seems to be a bit of a Facebook backlash at the moment?
