facebook owns your asses now!

who gives a ****, dont upload anything except blurry pics and youre set
 
Yeah, but why would Facebook want a topless photo of me in the sea?
 
Nothing I've uploaded can't be found at better quality somewhere else.

Although I know a guy who is a professional photographer who wouldn't be caught dead uploading her good stuff to Facebook, because they own the copyright.

Duh. How do you miss that?
 
Oh no Mark Zuckerberg is going to print pictures off of me when I was at college posing for a crappy phone camera picture on a drunken night and possibly use them for terrorism!

If only I'd read the ToS!

Exactly what I was thinking :)
 
this kinda blows though, so even if i delete some stuff Facebook probably saves everything. i put like 1000 pictures from my vacation on there
 
Wait, so if someone posted CP, wouldn't FB be the legal owner of it?
 
Why would they do this?

I don't use facebook so it's not like I really care but it does seem like an arsehole move on their part.

No, the uploading of CP would break the TOS, and thus is not legally allowed to be on FB, and therefore FB is not the legal owner of it.

Anyways, I'm not really bothered by this. I don't really know why FB would want drunken pictures of me, but hey, if they want them, feel free.
 
I'd like to see FB honestly try, they cant own the copyright to anything you've created, simple as. No, a ToS "agreement" has never voided your copy rights. Even then, if its photo's of you, you can just say you don't give permission, bingbadaboom useless photo.

By the nature of how facebook works if you uploaded CP Facebook would only be able to delete it from appearing on the frontend. The images would still be on their servers and they would have no way of removing them. Custom file systems designed for storing vast amounts of images will do that. Possession bitches. Although they'd lose all ability to retrieve the image once they removed the link to it. Facebook's storage system is rather impressive if anything. This is why Facebook needs to have an ianal policy on just who owns the files you upload. Once you've uploaded a file Facebook can only delete the reference to the file.
 
Excuse my ignorance, and I know I risk sounding like a dumbass, but what is this so-called "CP"? :E

They could use you for all sorts of things, not just prints. They may even be able to sell it. And I think just because the chances of it happening to you in particular is low, playing it off as insignificant is irresponsible and stupid.

I'm going to go out and stab 50 people every year from various parts of the world, but dont get upset over because I probably wont stab you.


Hopefully if they ever do try something with someones image, what Iced_Eagle said would happen, and they would just get sued.
 
Anybody who logged onto Facebook today will have seen this message:

Over the past few days, we have received a lot of feedback about the new terms we posted two weeks ago. Because of this response, 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.

If you want to share your thoughts on what should be in the new terms, check out our group Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities.

And then this one:
Mark Zuckerberg said:
A couple of weeks ago, we revised our terms of use hoping to clarify some parts for our users. Over the past couple of days, we received a lot of questions and comments about the changes and what they mean for people and their information. Based on this feedback, we have decided to return to our previous terms of use while we resolve the issues that people have raised.

Many of us at Facebook spent most of today discussing how best to move forward. One approach would have been to quickly amend the new terms with new language to clarify our positions further. Another approach was simply to revert to our old terms while we begin working on our next version. As we thought through this, we reached out to respected organizations to get their input.

Going forward, we've decided to take a new approach towards developing our terms. We concluded that returning to our previous terms was the right thing for now. As I said yesterday, we think that a lot of the language in our terms is overly formal and protective so we don't plan to leave it there for long.

More than 175 million people use Facebook. If it were a country, it would be the sixth most populated country in the world. Our terms aren't just a document that protect our rights; it's the governing document for how the service is used by everyone across the world. Given its importance, we need to make sure the terms reflect the principles and values of the people using the service.

Our next version will be a substantial revision from where we are now. It will reflect the principles I described yesterday around how people share and control their information, and it will be written clearly in language everyone can understand. Since this will be the governing document that we'll all live by, Facebook users will have a lot of input in crafting these terms.

You have my commitment that we'll do all of these things, but in order to do them right it will take a little bit of time. We expect to complete this in the next few weeks. In the meantime, we've changed the terms back to what existed before the February 4th change, which was what most people asked us for and was the recommendation of the outside experts we consulted.

If you'd like to get involved in crafting our new terms, you can start posting your questions, comments and requests in the group we've created—Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. I'm looking forward to reading your input.
