Today's illustration is Facebook, whose TOS used to indicate when you closed your account, any rights they claimed to your content expired. Not so anymore, the following language has been removed: You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content.( Facebook's New Terms Of Service: "We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever." ) — † Contrast with my First Rule of the Internet: Don't fuck with the Internet. E.g. see http://www.kenny-glenn.com/. |

Guess I'll be posting my own photos and artwork from my own site and just pointing them to the links.

Greck, your first rule of the internet only makes sense if people know that you ARE the internet. I for one have never posted addresses, phone numbers, and satellite photos of someones house in order to silence a list thread.

Terms of Use Update
Close
A couple of weeks ago, we posted an update to our Terms of Use that we hoped would clarify some parts of it for our users. Over the past couple of days, we have received a lot of questions and comments about these updated terms and what they mean for people and their information. Because of the feedback we received, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog.
