Businessweek is reporting on the Facebook issue of the week and this particular issue has privacy groups up in arms.
When social media site Facebook casually slipped in a clause that gave them rights in perpetuity to users’ content, consumer watchdog groups and privacy experts cried foul.
Essentially Facebook owns everything you upload to the site…forever, no matter what you do with the content after it’s touched their server.
Nice.
