I myself don't use Facebook or Myspace, but this story was pretty interesting.
Facebook changes terms of service.
"Under the terms of service, Facebook has rights to freely use anything people add to the website even after members delete material or close accounts."
"It is common language in every website because their cut-throat lawyer says you need to cover yourself," said Future of Privacy Forum director Jules Polonetsky"
"This doesn't mean that Facebook can make a mini-series on your life or write a book about you, but they might be able to create a feed that lets your friends on Twitter know what you're doing. Folks should just calm down."
"Terms of service acknowledge that once pictures or messages are sent to friends at Facebook, senders surrender control of the data."
".....Facebook remains bound by its vow to honor privacy settings members use to dictate which of their online postings can been seen by whom. "
I think the above quotes best represent the whole story, but read the entire article if you have time. I feel now, more than ever, ya'll should be careful what you post on the intrawebs.
I'm not selling tin foil, I just want all you lovely people to stay informed and stay protected.
Love Peace and chicken grease
