Married to Facebook Forever

It turns out your membership to Facebook may last longer than some marriages. Facebook changed its Terms of Service recently basically saying it can do whatever it wants with your content even if you erase it all or close your account.

Here are just a few lines that's generating a lot of buzz.


"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."

You can join a group of people who are protesting Facebook's new Terms of Service here. No doubt Facebook is working on a response.
But seriously, did you think that a free service wouldn't retain the rights to your stuff?
