Facebook Reverses New Policy in a 24-Hour Turnaround
After just 24 hours of changing their policy to allow Facebook to use information, wall posts and photos posted on their site even after users close their accounts, Facebook listened to the feedback of tens of thousands of users and reversed their decision for now. The company spokesman, Barry Schnitt, tried to calm the angry online “mob” through a blog post yesterday. He said that Facebook is currently trying to reword the Terms of Use to make the company’s rights easier to understand. He also wrote the following:
As Mark expressed in his blog post on Monday, it was never our intention to confuse people or make them uneasy about sharing on Facebook…I also want to be very clear that Facebook does not, nor have we ever, claimed ownership over people’s content. Your content belongs to you.
