Thanks for sharing this. Even though i haven’t read the TOS, I’m still concern about my privacy. Good thing I haven’t uploaded any of my works and photos of me and my loved ones.

Many of my friends ask me where’s your picture? I said, I’m sorry, i don’t have any pictures in my computer.

We just don’t know where will facebook use our information.

Thanks a lot for this

the fact that Facebook change their TOS back so quickly is an indication that they knew they were doing something wrong, or at least “a little off”

I think you exceeded your allowed use of the word “kerfluffle” in this article.

This just goes to show that you need to not only watch what information you post on the internet, but read through the terms and conditions before just clicking through. Facebook has an agenda… it was only a matter of time before they tried to implement something like this. Of course, I didn’t think about that when i joined facebook a few years ago.

Peg, I think e’s point is better: don’t put information you want to be private in a public forum. (The opposite, as well: don’t expect privacy anywhere that a policeman could see you.) I am, among other things, a writer; I want people to see my writings and associate them with me, as that’s how I get work. On the other hand, I don’t want someone to feel they can use a legal trick to assert their ownership over that work. A photographer wants to be able to get people to see photographs.

The Facebook dispute isn’t about privacy, it’s about the right to own your own creations.

I marvel at the eagerness with which so many throw all privacy away. Facebook? Myspace? Don’t folks know all that crap can be used against them? No, thanks.

I saw all this going on (being a facebook user myself) and thought it was hilarious. Zuckerman et al have since released numerous statements saying “We don’t own your stuff, we never meant to own your stuff, it was poor wording, mea culpa.” And yet so many are still frothing at the mouth. Oh well. Some people just need to feed their victim complexes.
