Facebook back-tracks over recent update to TOS
Facebook recently updated their terms of service (TOS) to say that anything you upload can be used by Facebook in any way they deem fit, even if you decide to close your account. In addition, Facebook could even sub-license your content if they wish! This outraged many users and they have today reverted back to the original terms of service while they work out a way forward that is more acceptable.
Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook creator, said recently in his latest blog post, "Based on this feedback, we have decided to return to our previous terms of use while we resolve the issues that people have raised."
"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..."
Interesting stuff. You see see the full post in his facebook blog.
