Hey you Facebookies out there – make sure you FULLY understand the new terms that Facebook has published. Section “License” now reads:
You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute (through multiple tiers), any User Content you (i) Post on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof subject only to your privacy settings or (ii) enable a user to Post, including by offering a Share Link on your website and (b) to use your name, likeness and image for any purpose, including commercial or advertising, each of (a) and (b) on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof.
In other words – they can do anything they like to your stuff, especially also use your photos to advertise….. VERY BAD – and a sad thing, facebook used to be problematic in terms of data privacy, but you always had control on what to publish. The new terms will just help to have people publish less and less…..
