Voices from Campus
Last month, we asked you if you thought Facebook had the right to use the information and pictures that you post on your page. Here is some of the feeback received:
While Facebook has the legal right to change their terms of use, I think that this move is in rather poor taste. Facebook is supposed to be a tool for users to connect with their friends. It seems that Facebook is moving away from its original purpose, and it may lose some of its users if it continues down this path.
-Anonymous, American University
As I understand it, Facebook is a free site. I have a choice of whether to post information and pictures. This is like going through the drive thru at McDonald's, ordering a Big Mac because I want one, then suing McDonald's for making me overweight. Personal responsibility is the only alternative.
