FaceBook T&C's Change?

[russellsnr]

Hi, OK I do not no if this has been posted already but in case not!
There is a German site (I think not sure) that I came across that is saying this.
Translated with on-line translator and only a small part of it.
"On February 1 will force the new privacy policy of Facebook. In these conditions it is clearly stated what Facebook can do with your photos. Use as your profile picture for commercial purposes. For many people this is scare and there is also a lot of noise to occur. It seems that your pictures are not only yours. Also presenter and producer Sipke Jan Bousema and inventor William Leaning here quite shocked by. They determined the app Reclaim, which you pictures may watermarks".
If anyone can speak German there is a video also.

Understanding German won't help you all that much, as the video and occompanying text are in Dutch...
(which is not the same language, whatever one hears every now and then).
(The ".nl" at the end of the domain name might have been a hint )

The text goes on saying that the "Reclaim" app adds a small text through the images, and was rather well received by the public.
It appears that a few weeks later, a number of users noticed that their watermarked images had been replaced by older versions without the watermarks, and that the Facebook page (and website?) of the Reclaim app also had some problems.

For those interested, a link to the "Reclaim" web site

Why worry,

As ive said before watermarks are easily removed, if you dont want your work open to piracy then dont publish it. Did you know that images on here appear in google images? so once you put them on here for C&C they are out there, Chill out and accept it, theres nothing that can be done about it. Just look at copying as being the highest form of flattery, otherwise it will all drive you nuts!

You have to know the right words to search in google...then it will be there. I don't use Facebook after an incident there using my hubby's account so this doesn't really concerned me.

Outstanding! I didn't even notice (call myself a pedant?).

Another hint was "uitzending" and them double vowels in voorwaarden . .
