I cannot access the following link because it says "invalid URL". Its from the Facebook Blog, not really sure why it throws up an "invalid URL" message.

Anyways, I copy-pasted it to Google, and clicked "Cached" to see the cached version. Will give real colour on Facebook's alleged use of our pictures in plain English.

I saw this too. Initially I thought it was just another case of misinformation making its speedy way across the net, but then I checked out my FB settings and found that indeed, there was a setting to limit the use of my photos.
ReplyDeleteThe strange thing is, FB seems to have gone all out to prove this to be a non-event and mentioned that they don't allow third parties access to our photos.
But at the same time, the option to opt out of Facebook ads is no longer visible in the Privacy Settings page - just a link to the FB blog and the story of how all this is just a big mistake.
Smells fishy to me...
I find facebook taking out that option and putting in the link to their blog pretty very disappointing. They should have given all of us the opportunity to decide what we want to do.
ReplyDeleteSo - does this mean that they "may" have plans to use our pictures? hm...
