Facebook has updated their Terms of Service and has the entire internet in a fuss – the question is: what does this mean for me? Essentially the change people are worried about is that this chunk of text has dissapeared:

You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content.

What this means for you is that you can no longer really have any control over uploaded content, and specifically that you should make sure anything you enter or upload on to facebook is something you don’t mind having public for ever.

Is this a serious problem? Personally I don’t think so as people already know that content on facebook is public, however, it is a bad policy to put forward as they are taking all forms of control away from the user which doesn’t really benefit them, but does irritate the average user.

What are your feelings?
