Facebook is reverting back to the old policy where it says we own our own content instead of facebook owning it. I don’t know what the hell Facebook was thinking when they said they were going to own it. They had a huge back lash about their new policy. I am glade people spoke out about it.

This is what CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the companies spokeman said about the terms “it was never our intention to confuse people or make them uneasy about sharing on Facebook,” company spokesman Barry Schnitt said in a blog post. “I also want to be very clear that Facebook does not, nor have we ever, claimed ownership over people’s content. Your content belongs to you.”

They are also going to reword the terms of use to be more simpler for people to read. I am just glade they listened to the people and reverted back to the old terms. Someone created a Facebook group that had more then 64,000 people that signed up to it. That is a lot of people. People were also canceling their accounts of this.

It is funny how everyone always back lashes on facebook when they release something new.

When facebook released it’s friends feed, everyone was ALL mad about it, but in the end, most people really enjoyed it! I know this policy is different… but still….
