facebook rolls out Plan B
 

I was always uneasy about the facebook terms of service, which allows them to own and sell any information you put on there.

They are injecting ads into personal conversations, so it could be something like 'hey hope you had a good time at the beach...REMEMBER TO BUY MEGACORP SUNBLOCK...tell Jenny I said hi"

Also, remember how they own all your pictures? They are selling them to companies to use in ads:

"For example, if a friend has booked a vacation on Travelocity, the online travel agency will be able to display the friend's photo as part of a "social ad" to entice the user to buy flights and hotel stays. Advertisers can similarly have their pitches appear when friends review restaurants and buy books or DVDs."

Companies are now going to be making facebook pages and advertising based on targetted friend groups.

Etc, etc.

does setting things to private change anything? and this wont really matter. some hippies will protest but most of us are too hooked to change

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

Thanks for the heads up, facebook account promptly deleted.

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

Plus people who are facebook usually are looking for attention and therefore won't mind being featured in these lame ads.

Unfortunately I think 90% of these people won't give a [censored].

any picture or video you add you have to agree that it meets the terms of use, which owns your soul.

I don't post any pics, but my gf posts entire albums and lots of my friends post pics of me so I basically have no control over that unless I ask them to take it down.

My best friend is also promoting his music on facebook...and facebook owns all his videos now, I'm pretty sure.

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

Just curious, does myspace have the same policy?

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

Well Zuckerberg convinced Microsoft to value fb at $15B or something like that. Clearly he wasn't selling them the status quo.

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

i dont really understand what's so bad about targeted marketing. wouldnt you rather see ads for products you have an actual interest in buying?

personal privacy is so 2000

Does anyone actually send messages through facebook anyway?

If I do, it's to tell some random broad she's hot cuz I'm crunked.

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

this is scary, but there is nothing I can do because most of my friends have tons of pictures of me on there. I might as well start posting my noodz on there.

Gildwulf,

Where do you want to go out to dinner tonight? How about [ad]the Blue Oyster, where guys over 21 eat and drink for half price and every Wednesday is free leather vest night![/ad] or we could just go to the usual spot.

I love you darling.

XOXOXO

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

Uhh, well, this is serious biz. The majority of facebooks members probably didn't know their pictures were going to be used by facebook in this manner, and unless facebooks terms of service, clearly, convincingly and most of all BOLDY stated these terms, I think there is a strong argument to fight it. Reason being, that for most contracts to be valid, both parties must know what they are agreeing to, and in a case like facebook, it can be easily proven that most people did not belive they were signing up for that. Because of fraud, and the era of standardization where a consumer expects to be signing a certain contract with certain terms, this is no longer and era of, you signed it you agreed to it.

I think this is a great opportunity- if facebook decides to pursue its plans- for another website to surface like facebook that previously did not have an opportunity.

i feel dirty bc moveon.org was on our "side" here

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

Not a lawyer but what if as a solution to the friends posting photos/videos of you problem you clearly state that any photos etc containing you that others have taken are allowed to be used but their use is non-transferable, therefore facebook cannot put them in ads or whatever.

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

you have to agree to THEIR terms to use the site ldo

Re: facebook rolls out Plan B
 

Yes I know that. However no one can give permission for someone else. So while any photos of me are fair game, photos of my friends shouldn't be.

Except I would assume by default they are as when you upload, you agree you have consent to do so etc...

However, if my friend only grants consent to me to display the media and declares the consent nontransferable, facebook cannot touch it.

no?
