| February 16, 2009 | | Facebook clarifies its intent in a blog post |
In a blog post, Mark Zuckerberg clarifies that Facebook has no designs on its user's content but needs a license from each user to allow Facebook to share content between users.
This clarification helps. However, FB should still reword its TOS to clarify this intent / philosophy--which is a reasonable one. The problem with the current TOS wording is that it does allow FB to go far beyond the basic philosophy put forth in Mark's blog post, i.e., to do literally anything with a users posted content.
I'm guessing the smart folks at FB can come up with TOS wording that gives them what they need without claiming unlimited rights. | | |
