While I agree with Jeff Jarvis that FB has crossed a line by putting the stuff I offer to share with my FBFriends into the public space, I think the problem is more sinister than that. The BIG problem for me is that we are being sold for FB’s profit with no ability to opt out. I always assumed that everything I do on FB is public. This is different.<\/p>\n

Here’s the difference:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On my own blog, my words and pictures are MINE and people who want to use them need to ask my permission or at least give me attribution. I know not everyone does, but we do have laws in place and legal remedies when people don’t play by the rules.<\/em><\/p>\n

On Facebook, THEY have taken ownership (and copies) of my words, pictures, comments, likes, etc. and now SELL them to anyone who wants them. They have recorded every keystroke I EVER made from the time I first got an account. Even the ones I deleted.<\/p>\n

My pictures can be used in some ad and I will never be asked or told.<\/p>\n

I NEVER agreed to this. It’s sleazy.<\/p>\n
