I see that Zuckerberg and crew did a 180 and reverted the “forever” clause in Facebook’s terms of service. It’s a small step in the right direction, but all of my original objections to Facebook’s terms (the objections that led to me deleting my account) remain. Facebook’s licensing terms are still too broad and claim far more rights than is necessary.
I’ll be speaking tomorrow night at Ignite Portland about social networks, media hosting, and licensing terms.

This is kinda like when Dubya tried to claim he was drawing down troops just because he wanted to pull out the people he sent in for The Surge.
Have you seen Facebook’s efforts today to establish a “Facebook Bill of Rights”? http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=69048030774
I haven’t, since I can’t access that without a Facebook account. Walled gardens FTL.
