Facebook’s new Terms of Service–Just Say NO!

Many of you have by now heard (perhaps through Twitter) that Facebook has changed their Terms of Service to essentially grant themselves in perpetuity rights to use your materials.  Even if you delete the items, or cancel/delete your account.

While I have no problem with them using the material I make publicly available while I make it available I am incensed that they are now extending their claims, unilaterally and retroactively, to all my material for all time.

In protest, I have emailed Facebook and told them I reject their new TOS, I have deleted my photos, and changed my profile photo to a PROTEST, and hereby grant YOU, the reader, license to reuse this graphic as YOUR profile photo.  All I ask is that you comment on here that you are using it.
