Facebook's New Terms of Service

An anonymous reader writes "Chris Walters writes about Facebook's new terms of service. 'Facebook's terms of service (TOS) used to say that when you closed an account on their network, any rights they claimed to the original content you uploaded would expire. Not anymore. Now, anything you upload to Facebook can be used by Facebook in any way they deem fit, forever, no matter what you do later. Want to close your account? Good for you, but Facebook still has the right to do whatever it wants with your old content. They can even sublicense it if they want.'" Oh no! Now they'll be able to license your super flair goblin poke 25 tag history!

Ah, so almost as much as the Iraq war cost us. Well, at least we'll be building bridges and doing real science, not blowing up bridges and suppressing any hint of climate change research.

I volunteer at the local Red Cross chapter, and I just got an email telling me they now have a presence on FaceBook, and all volunteers should "friend" the Red Cross account. Since I don't have and never intended to get a Facebook account, I was torn, but after reading this article, I'm no longer torn, I'll get a Facebook account, when hell freezes over...
