This topic is particularly interesting now with the incredible rise of Facebook and other social networking sites. Most people are unaware that Facebook owns the information posted to their site. It brings up real issues of privacy and education surrounding the use of personal information. I was a little put off to find out that even my precious ‘Blogger’ account is subject to use by Google, while they don’t claim to ‘own’ my content, they do claim the right to use it if they choose. Of course, I should’ve known that already, but we’re researching various social softwares for class and someone brought up the terms and conditions which so many fail to read closely.
