Facebook OWNS ALL YOUR STUFF. Forever! Even if you quit!

This is SO not cool! I just recently joined, but I don't think I'll be doing a damn thing on there, except warning all my friends about this ( Read more... )

I signed up for facebook and now I can't get in with my username and password. I went through their troubleshooting process and received no reply. Since then a friend I would dearly like to "talk" to has contacted me on Facebook and, of course, I can't reply, though I tried replying to the gmail message.

I can't figure it out, either. After LiveJournal, message boards and MySpace, I think I'm done. Brain over, man! It's just too much to learn.

OH now, isn't that just lovely? I'm so glad you read the fine print. Nice of them to just claim your work. I wonder how that would stand up in court if your work was already copywrited?

Looks like Facebook going back on all this now. I guess you have to be careful/expect anything when you post stuff on the internets, but a company actually trying to do that in their terms of service is just... AUUGH!

There have been a couple of updates:

Facebook Clarifies Terms Of Service: "We Do Not Own Your Stuff Forever"

How Does Facebook's TOS Compare To Other Social Networking Sites?

Oh, man! You are totally thwarting my plan to beg off Facebook by using this as an excuse! Now I'm just going to have to tell all my RW friends that I really am too lazy to figure out how to use Facebook and don't want to take the time to dick around with it on a regular basis. Boooooo!

You ARE one of those internet people! Icon is TRUE!

LOL! Not feeling very kindly toward the interconnectedwebnet at the moment. I've been turned back at every turn trying to get things working today. *g*

I've never done any social networking place other than LiveJournal. I don't know what I'd do if everyone migrated somewhere else!

Now I'm just going to have to tell all my RW friends that I really am too lazy to figure out how to use Facebook and don't want to take the time to dick around with it on a regular basis. Boooooo!

But, look what a good old fashion "global outcry" can accomplish! LOL!
