Facebook: When you agree to sign up for, or use Facebook you grant them ownership of all of your information, that’s right ALL OF IT. In fact, on those terms of use you probably didn’t read, this is what you agreed to: For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it. This means that Facebook is allowed to use your information and pictures until you delete it. Although Facebook insists they are not selling your photos there is the possibility they can, meaning your photos and information can be anywhere. This is not to say don’t use Facebook, just to be aware of what you are posting because despite insisting they don’t sell your pictures, Facebook can sell your photos.
