Facebook shocker

By Raul Reis

It's sad that Facebook is going more commercial, but what really shocked me was the fact that to do so, they will provide access to millions of posts, pictures, files, creative fiction, music, and everything else people had been posting as "limited", never expecting them to become widely available...

That goes to show that you have to be really careful when you use social networking/blogging sites, including this one we're using now. In essence, by posting pictures and personal files, the way I do on "shutterfly.com", for example, we're waiving our copyrights (and a big chunk of our privacy). I guess this is one huge downside of the Internet and technological innovation...
