Facebook Changing the Terms of Service
For those who are not on twitter and following the recent meme about changing TOS, you should start by reading this post and the subsequent follow-up.
To be fair to Facebook part of the momentum here is a general sense of angst about who owns what when it is stored in “the cloud” or on “social networking sites.” But, Facebook also has changed their language to reflect a pretty (in my opinion) ridiculous policy. So while Facebook has become the lightning rod here, they did bring it on themselves. To get a clear picture of different TOS read Amanda French’s rundown of different TOS (seriously go read it, its important).

This is just another example of a blog finding something, posting a sensationalized article without any fact checking and igniting a ridiculous firestorm. This more about Gawker media doing whatever they can to drum up pageviews than it is any real issue with Facebook.
