Boycott Facebook?

[Nexium 10+ year member]

You Facebook users are SCREWED.

Did you know that everything you've loaded up into your profile (personal pictures, etc.) belongs to Facebook, even after you've closed your account?

That's what it says in the Terms of Service you agreed to when you opened your account, apparently.

The Consumerist recently uncovered this disturbing info and it's causing quite a stir. Links: http://mashable.com/2009/02/16/facebook-tos-privacy/

So, what does this mean?

Basically, Facebook can do whatever the hell they want with YOUR STUFF.

And, they can do so WITHOUT your permission.

For example, they can license your personal pictures out to companies, make a shizzle of money and don't have to give you a dime.

I don't think so, usually sites will rid of your stuff for space reasons.

Old news. If you put anything on the internet and expect privacy you are an idiot.
