I decided to do a little research on privacy to help me get a better idea about this issue with internet usage. I read and searched and found out some interesting information about the topicespecially from this website about A Wider World facebook. Did you know that any information you place in a facebook application then becomes there property and they are free to do whatever they please with it. I did’t. And the real bonus (to facebook anyway), you are the person still accountable for defamation etc if the company is ever sued in regards to your/there content.
Have you ever read the facebook policy and terms of use.
Even if you do read the terms of use it seems that it is a standard policy to include a “we reserve the right to change these terms as we see fit” statement within them (apparently these statements are common in terms of use of internet applications) which is a bit scary really). No wonder nobody reads them, when they are not worth the electrons there created with. (I thought paper there printed on but this is an electronic world lol)
Here is an article bought to my attetion by Amy today (thanks Amy) from consumerist.com about facebook policy, which is very much along the same lines to what I discovered in my own research.
