And quite frankly, that’s kind of scarey. According to their new terms of use, facebook has license to do whatever it wants with whatever you upload (even if you delete it). Don’t believe me, check out this article on the consumerist. Here’s another article on these new terms. So basically, be careful with what you put on the net because it looks like facebook is keeping it all and trying to find a way to profit from it. Think you’re off the hook because you’re not on facebook? Think again. If you have friends who are on facebook (and I’m sure you do), if they post any pictures of your or any of your work, facebook owns that too. To that, I give facebook two thumbs down.

Well damn. Let me make sure to tell my friends to keep me off their facebooks, lol. That’s just insane. I bet Myspace isn’t too face behind, especially since its been sold to Google.
Yes, that ish IS scary!
I saw that on The View this morning! Ridiculous!
