Facebook: the Law Says You Can't Have Your Data

An anonymous reader writes "After making 22 complaints regarding Facebook's various practices, the Austrian group Europe versus Facebook stumbled upon an important tidbit: Facebook says it is not required to give you a copy of some of your personal data if it deems doing so would adversely affect its trade secrets or intellectual property. I followed up with Facebook and learned the company insists the law places 'reasonable limits' on the data that has to be provided."

Fortunately, when you clicked the 'I agree' button, you gave Facebook a commercial, transferable, sublicensable, license to anything that you uploaded, and you agreed that you owned the copyright, or the right to make such a grant, on everything that you uploaded.
