After the huge uproar over their revised Terms of Service, Facebook has “decided to return to our previous terms of use while we resolve the issues that people have raised.” HA! So instead of owning the rights to your submissions forever—even if you leave the Facebook community—they only assert ownership rights over everything you submit while you are a member. Isn’t that nice of them: If you want to be a member of Facebook, you have to give away rights to one’s personal thoughts and photographs. Bah! I’m sticking with my WordPress blog where they assert I own the rights to everything I post unless I specify otherwise.
