Twitter is all abuzz with the new terms of service agreement for Facebook. It used to be when you cancelled your Facebook account, the information you posted on Facebook would be deleted. Not anymore. The new terms state that anything you post on Facebook now becomes their property, and they have the right to use it, even after you leave the service.
Facebook’s terms of service (TOS) used to say that when you closed an account on their network, any rights they claimed to the original content you uploaded would expire. Not anymore.
Now, anything you upload to Facebook can be used by Facebook in any way they deem fit, forever, no matter what you do later. Want to close your account? Good for you, but Facebook still has the right to do whatever it wants with your old content. They can even sublicense it if they want.
