Facebook Pulls About Face

ADVERTISEMENTS

After a near revolt from users and privacy advocates, Facebook has backtracked from recent changes to its terms of use.

The social networking site announced those changes yesterday. Among them, Facebook informed users that it would maintain ownership of all content on user profiles, even after users had altered or otherwise deleted the content.

Those changes were met with an uproar, including one organization beginning to prepare a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. In order to assuage users and potential litigants, Facebook has just announced that it is temporarily reverting back to the prior terms of use.

Above the Law may have summarized it best: “Status update from Facebook, ‘We messed up.’”
