Facebook Reverts to Old Terms!
OK, so enough folks seem to have bitch-slapped Facebook for them to reconsider their new Terms of Use. Truthfully, in many countries they would have probably stood no chance (example: Germany) of getting away with this legally anyway. Here’s what was posted on my private Facebook page today:
“Terms of Use UpdateClose Over the past few days, we have received a lot of feedback about the new terms we posted two weeks ago. Because of this response, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog. If you want to share your thoughts on what should be in the new terms, check out our group Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities.”
I have decided to take a wait-and-see stance for right now, before I reactivate and then feed my previous public Facebook page. As they said, they are still evaluating. I’ll be curious to see what they come up with next…
