However, it does fall into one of two different potential reasons<BR/><BR/>1) They did this simply to protect themselves. Facebook is a large group, and they are sure to make mistakes. Previously, one's info would be deleted (but kept in the archives) after use, the liscence ending then. Now it is forever. We can assume that they were just covering their ass in case they forgot that you deleted something<BR/><BR/>2) Look at the wording, it clearly intends for another buisness to have their ass covered. I.E., they are selling or giving our info to a third party and they do not want admit it. Basically, they are covering their asses when this company uses the information<BR/><BR/>I think that it is the second, but that is really up to you...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Now, the reason that they did not tell us that they changed the TOS is pretty basic, they rarely do. They have no requirement to tell us and I am fine with the fact that they didn't. Plus, they were trying to avoid this sort of thing..<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>On a side note, feel free to look around and comment on the other postsWhalertlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813665460494699983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128643220897267519.post-12152675085827407462009-02-19T07:14:00.000-05:002009-02-19T07:14:00.000-05:00Hey.

Facebook ...It is a paradox that is easily solvable. Facebook needs to reword it to say that the companies it provides data to have accsess on their servers and we need to agree to their terms. That way facebook is covered and we are back where we started<BR/><BR/>The main problem is the fact that they did not inform us (not that they needed to). Had they did what they are now doing, with a grey box, most of this would have been doneWhalertlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813665460494699983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6128643220897267519.post-40178063192024082602009-02-18T08:16:00.000-05:002009-02-18T08:16:00.000-05:00I found your post very interesting: it certainly h...I found your post very interesting: it certainly helped with the legal side of things. I totally agree about the big paradox, that's a really good point which I think definitely needs to be addressed. Except I still don't believe that Facebook wants anything more than the right to run their site well, and I don't really think they intended this to be so controversial - instead I think they just casually chucked down the new terms and assumed wrongly that a) no-one would give a damn and b) everyone knew exactly what they meant.<BR/><BR/>(:Bryonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880610195249082889noreply@blogger.com
