Facebook Owns Your Content, Your Soul For all Eternity
February 17th, 2009
Consumerist broke a story a few days back about changes to facebook’s Terms of Service. Basically their TOS states it owns everything you ever do, and can do whatever they want with it, FOR-EV-ER, regardless of if you leave the site. This has big implications for folks with creative content that they own posted. I.e. if I take a rad trip to Spain and post all sorts of pictures, Facebook can use those pictures for whatever they want, including selling them to Frommer’s and I’ll never get any royalties or credit.
Be careful posting your content on Facebook going forward. Tricky devils.
