Mark Zuckerberg has some reasons to give over the concerns Facebook users have developed after its modified TOS made way to the public. Al right we agree that Facebook can’t just eliminate everything associated to me, this includes sent messages, etc in my friends inbox (wall posts). The founder mentions this in his blog post:
When a person shares information on Facebook, they first need to grant Facebook a license to use that information so that we can show it to the other people they’ve asked us to share it with. Without this license, we couldn’t help people share that information. ..we wouldn’t share your information in a way you wouldn’t want. The trust you place in us as a safe place to share information is the most important part of what makes Facebook work. Our goal is to build great products and to communicate clearly to help people share more information in this trusted environment.
So? Where is he addressing the major issue? That of keeping user data even after one terminates the account? In effective and dissatisfactory reply (reminds me of the redesign); because once again Facebook fails to prove itself good at communicating what runs in the heads of its team. I don’t mind if they keep my messages in a friend’s inbox, but what about photos? Facebook may not use them or abuse but what if someone does? Just a thought.
Facebook and Twitter are closed source content silos that do not allow you to control the content that you create.
One of the reasons for this is obvious. Selling Member created content is one of the only ways that they can generate revenue. If members actually controlled and owned the content they created,then members would have the ability to demand transparency from Facebook when it came to selling or sharing their content.
