+ The Consumerist talks about recent shady changes
+ Facebook CEO responds
Perez sez :
Did you know that everything you've loaded up into your profile (personal pictures, etc.) belongs to Facebook, even after you've closed your account?
...
Basically, Facebook can do whatever the hell they want with YOUR STUFF.
And, they can do so WITHOUT your permission.
For example, they can license your personal pictures out to companies, make a shizzle of money and don't have to give you a dime.
Sounds really, really shitty and sooo shady!!!!!

It also used to contain another bit that is now missing.
