Hopefully your relationship with Facebook will never go sour, because the pre-nup just changed.

That’s right, the dreaded Facebook Terms of Service (TOS) section that deals with their use of content on your profile and related pages (including yoru notes, blogs, comments and everything else) now has one less sentence.

They always had these lines:

You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute (through multiple tiers), any User Content you (i) Post on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof subject only to your privacy settings or (ii) enable a user to Post, including by offering a Share Link on your website and (b) to use your name, likeness and image for any purpose, including commercial or advertising, each of (a) and (b) on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof.

But now it’s missing THESE  Two important sentences:

You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content.

You can see the old Facebook TOS at the web.archive.org

So make sure that anything you upload to Facebook isn’t something that you mind giving away…because ALL YOUR CONTENT ARE BELONG TO US now.

Facebook’s New Terms Of Service: “We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever.”.
