Facebook wants to get the right to user data
I think that few have any illusions about the availability of data posted on the Web - which is what the famous Radarix is worth . However, until recently, we could at least hope that there is a hypothetical opportunity to hide our online presence and remove traces of our online stay. However, the administration of the social network Facebook decided to deprive us of this legal right by using a new paragraph in the user agreement.
According to the administration of the service, deleting an account does not mean the expiration of the license for profile content. Therefore, the administration of the service can use the user’s content at its discretion. Thus, user data will be stored on the site even after deleting accounts.
Although the head of Facebook andstated that the site’s administration would not use the content “the way you wouldn’t want us to do it.” However, the very idea of such use of content caused serious protests among users.
More than half of the users were dissatisfied with the ToS (Term of Service) change, as a result of which Facebook returned to the previous version of these rules.
So, a precedent has appeared. Actually, they did not come up with anything new on Facebook. Users who are well aware of the principles of the Internet’s functioning have no longer had any illusions about its anonymity. To believe that through the Network you can betray another person and remain unpunished at the same time, can onlyoffice blondes or beginners. However, most of us thought, and continues to think, that we have the right to delete our data whenever we want. Yes, we know that you can’t remove it from the search engine, that there is a Google cache and other. However, Facebook’s actions are not a good call. If I wanted to be pathos, I would write that Facebook made the first shot in the back of democracy and freedom of Web 2.0. But there will be no pathos, just once again you should think about what and how you post on the Web. Privacy is a fragile affair ...
