About Face for FaceBook



Twitter is currently chirping with the news that Facebook have done an abrupt about face concerning the recent changes to their terms and conditions.

Users had complained the new terms of service seemed to suggest Facebook would retain personal data even if someone deleted their account, this included photographs, messages etc. The details of the change are outlined here on Mashable.com.

Most users would probably have had a 'meh' reaction to the news, most have never read the TOS anyway. However according to "detailed research" 56% wanted the old TOS back and 38 didn't care didn't know.

To be honest what do people expect from a free site run by a cocky little oik who may or may not have stolen the idea in the first place which has a long history of controversy and privacy issues?
