Facebook owns all content uploaded according to rules

 All Facebook users is facing problems with uploaded content. Users should consider twice, before uploading any content. First of all you are asked to confirm that you actually has the rights for the content, lets say a logo or a picture and you will face a deletion of your profile if you do not comply with the Facebook rules. That is if there is any complaints from the content owner. Then you will loose all the ability to have a profile any more according to the Facebook rules.

Facebook rules are very clear and Facebook is then able to sell this content and the content can be available from any sites outside Facebook also.

Facebook rule may not apply at all to many nations rules about privacy. Also there is many examples where one picture mistaken uploaded can be found elsewhere on the Internet.

Social Media

My suggestion to this is that you put a watermark over your graphics with a Copyright Notice and eventually your webpage. Something like the above.

At the moment there should be a presure on changing the rules, and i think that Facobook will listen because content actually is money. Every time a picture is uploaded and lets say 1.000 see that picture each year, then facebook is displaying 1.000 more advertisements and is earning money on the clicks.

Social Media is used by around 10% of the population in western countries and this number is very high. The question is whether a local domain and sites made for each country still applies under the law of California where Facebook is located.

Another issue with Facebook is that Facebook demands that you accept the rules EVERY time you login. Actually you have to read it all and press accept if you can accept it. Of course no one does that and this is the key from many consumer driven organizations around the world. It should be illegal to ask for confirmations more than, lets say 1 time per. year.
