Facebook Scrambles To Contain ToS Fallout

Posted by kdawson on from the all-your-content dept.

Ian Lamont writes "Anger over Facebook's ToS update has forced the company to scramble. Yesterday, a spokesman released a statement that said Facebook has never 'claimed ownership of material that users upload,' and is trying to be more open to users about how their data is being handled. Mark Zuckerberg has also weighed in, stating 'we wouldn't share your information in a way you wouldn't want.' Facebook members are skeptical, however — protests have sprung up on blogs, message boards, and a new Facebook group called 'People Against the new Terms of Service' that has added more than 10,000 members today."

    Hehe yeah, I gotta tell you that my generals are absolutely killing me. The worst part is the Liberal brainwashing, I was at a lecture arguing the Southern Border problems and the lecturer referred to the border as the Berlin Wall, when my conservative friend and I tried to get a word in, it was shot down for a girl that gave a discourses on the evils of Capitalism. School, is it becoming a cheap product as well?

    ... what makes you think your edata isn't floating out in the ether for anyone to see anyway? Do you use a debit/credit card? Do you sign up for "rewards" cards? Have you ever submitted a rebate form? Have you attended University? Have you applied for or taken a job anywhere? Do you have an SSN? What about filing a tax return -- did you do that on paper, by hand, or use some piece of 'tax software'? Do you use anything produced by M$ -- read any of their EULAs???

    While I worry tremendously about Big Brother Gov't, I'm most anxious about YOU and YOU and YOU, my brothers and sisters with whom I, knowingly or not, deal everyday.

    Welcome to "civilization", isn't it grand?
