Thanks to the “Facebook Isn’t Private, and 7 Other Things You Should Know” post I have taken the main points about its Terms and Conditions and summarised below. It makes for gritty reading.
1. The terms can change at any time of Facebook’s choosing.
2. Facebook is legally for personal use only (only actual people can create profiles. And you’re not supposed to profit from it. A profile for a business technically would be banned/deleted).
3. A single, individual user account (you can’t – under their T&Cs – have two accounts on Facebook)
4. You’re giving up a HUGE license (posting content gives Facebook a license to do whatever they want with your content).
5. Applications are NOT guaranteed safe (In other words, “installer beware.” A malicious application developer could break through Facebook’s security protocols and expose your info. That would probably be difficult to do, but Facebook wouldn’t have to take the blame).
6. Disputes are arbitrated under Delaware law in the US (If Facebook does something horridly wrong and you want to sue you can’t because you’ve already agreed to “final and binding arbitration”)
7. You surrender “all submissions” (If you give them a good idea for Facebook it becomes their property)
8. Privacy is NOT guaranteed: “[W]e cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site… …Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, messages, photos, videos, Marketplace listings or other items , this information may become publicly available.”
If somebody hacks Facebook, steals all your content and contact info you have no remedy against Facebook.
One example: If you’re a
One example: If you’re a professional photographer, and you decide to post some of your work on Facebook, they can take your work and use it as their own and there’s nothing you can do about it. They could sell your images, writings or any other content on the site.
4. You’re giving up a HUGE
4. You’re giving up a HUGE license (posting content gives Facebook a license to do whatever they want with your content).
But it doesn’t stop you doing whatever you like with your content. I think.
So what exactly is the problem with this? What scenario can you construct where this would be a problem?
Shouldn’t it be: “Eight
Shouldn’t it be: “Eight reasons why Facebook owns your ARSE?”

Well, I’m a commercial landscape photographer who deals in limited edition (10 or less) print runs. If I post one of my shots as an example of my work, Facebook “owns” that work and can use it as they wish. But, as I have a contract with people who by my works that they’re limited edition (10 and 10 only) then this would violate my contract with them. This is reason enough for me to stay away from Facebook…

Julian, I think the issue is
Julian, I think the issue is that you both own the content, wholly. This means (correct me if I’m wrong) that both parties can profit from the content individually.
Scenario: You take a really sweet video of your brand new shiny car and upload it to Facebook. Facebook can sell that as a marketing item to the car company to use in marketing campaigns, because they own it. So now Facebook has made a few hundred thousand dollars off of every time your video runs during the superbowl. Of course, you also own your content, so you can shop it around to the car company, too… but they might listen to Facebook before they listen to you (remember, Facebook is king of demographics research: http://www.democraticmedia.org/jcblog/?p=399 )
Best,

The problem is that by
The problem is that by posting anything you are giving them license to reprint or even modify it as they please. If you take a picture you own it, by uploading it you are giving up part of your rights to it.
According to this list anyways.
I recently had a run in with FACEBOOK Guys who deleted my facebook profile which appeared top of goggles search terms of my “name” occasionally as a exercise in self taught SEO aided by a person who is a professional reasons fro them deleting my profile are absolutely ridiculous and challenging the administrators a faceless person allege I am a spammer which I know I am not.
To conclude I find it hard to stomach that a person who does not know me can almost by automation and a few unread mails suggest and finally conclude I am a spammer yet he or she has not legal ground to do so ?
Literally it stinks and he/she does not compensate me for many hours of building links list and address or connections with persons which I deem costly & time consuming work !
Let us start a rally to prevent this !
