Facebook Lets Advertisers Use Pictures Without Permission
Krokz sends in an LA Times piece that begins "A warning is bouncing through cyberspace today, landing on the Facebook statuses of many of the social networking site's users. The message: 'Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers use your posted pictures without your permission.' It continues with a prescription of how you can protect your photos." The attention-grabbing incident in this furor involved a married woman, whose photo appeared in an ad for a dating service that was presented to her husband to view. Fortunately, both husband and wife had a sense of humor about it.
Change your profile pic to a text image reading 'DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!' Then set your privacy settings to be as accommodating to advertisers as possible :)
Hey, that's Anonymous Cowardon to you pal!!
Careful there, you're almost treading on my new handle!
If you're now bored of Slashdot
Because your posts are always wrong
Why not spend your time on there
posting lyrics of old songs.
So while you should be sleeping,
or reading papers in bed
you confuse people normal people
who aren't completely brain dead.
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
then you're pretty simple
and you've got half a brain
If you like making love at midnight,
In the dunes of the cape.
Then you're just too specific
And I'd question if you're sane."
I think the depth of those tossed off lyrics touch all of our hearts. Remember when you have no opinions of your own then lyrics are just as good.
