Back in October I got around to finally making a facebook after so much pressure from people. It was deleted by December, not my style. No incriminating photos or anything to worry about so I really don't care.

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.

So how does this have any impact on me

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?

So they can do the same stuff as anyone who bothers to look at my profile and knows how to copy and paste? I'm outraged
