[edit] Noticed/News
- Facebook Withdraws Changes in Data Use via http://delicious.com/jwebs98
- After three days of pressure from angry users and the threat of a formal legal complaint by a coalition of consumer advocacy groups, the company reversed changes to its contract with users that had appeared to give it perpetual ownership of their contributions to the service.
- Facebook’s Chief Privacy Officer: Users Own All Their Data
- TAt the end of the segment, Kelly says in no uncertain terms that Facebook users own all their data. It’s a notable declaration as Facebook goes through the process of figuring out exactly how to move forward with its Terms of Service.
