After a weekend of getting beat up, Facebook has decided to step back from its change in the Terms of Service.
Well, at least for the moment.
The story broke with this entry. All kinds of comments and outrage ensued and the concern was that by using the service without having to acknowledge the new terms was agreement in itself of the new terms.
The action even spawned a new group on Facebook itself called “People Against the new Terms of Service (TOS)“.
Logging in to the Facebook service this morning, users are presented with the message from the Facebook management indicating that have reverted to the previous terms of service. There is an indication though that the policy may come back upon review.
In the meantime, this whole situation should serve as a wake up call for those who use online services. See a previous post.
For all, it should serve notice that it’s time to check out your online digital identity to ensure that you still agree with the terms that you’ve agreed to.
You read them when you signed up, right?
