Facebook now owns you..............

Every picture you post, every word you type is now theirs.

Deleting your account? - its still there and its still all theirs.

Nice, pretty inevitable really.

One reason I have not ever entered the place - ever since they admitted on TV the only reason for the site was to collect personal data that they could sell ...

myspace used to have that rule, as soon as people realised they soon changed it, when did that go into the agreement? or has it always been there?

Er

"subject only to your privacy settings"

What's the big deal? If you don't want them to re-use it, don't make it public.

It's pretty obvious that its all only to do with ad targetting and data collection. The thing is, is it worth it? I have gotten in contact with many old friends, organise event much easier and see photos and statuses of what people are up to. i think it makes you a much more connected person, which has its own value. Do I care if Facebook know my name and favourite music? No!

Would you care if they went to press with your opinions (as publically stated on Facebook), and attached a picture of your Mug, all plastered on the side of busses.

All without them paying you a dime?

I've often thought it'll be quite funny when the next generation of politicians are inducted. Imagine in 20 years time when you'll be able to see/read all about the new Prime Minister's youthful drunken antics from his own page!

I would imagine this thread is not going the way Soulkiss intended....
