What Facebook's revised terms of use mean for your content | Jacobson Attorneys: the new media law firm:
"The license which you, as a Facebook user, grant to Facebook is very broad and it covers not just your content on Facebook but content you may have linked to from outside Facebook. What the terms don't do is grant ownership but the license is so broad Facebook may as well own your content. What alarms me the most is that Facebook takes a license to the content you may only link to on Facebook and don't upload to the service. This covers photos you may have stored on Flickr, videos on Zoopy or Vimeo and more. This virtual land grab makes these terms of use a particularly invasive set of permissions."This is scary.
I've started disabling all auto-posting to Facebook, will think twice about uploading content, and probably won't post there.
What do you think?
Update 2/18:
From MAshable, Facebook Reverts to Previous Terms of Service.
