Didn't sentech also change their license agreement and then when it became news, suddenly talk nice to their users?
The good intentions are stated in the press, but useless when not in the license agreement... or is it? Ive never read it

I don't agree to those terms, so how do I them delete my profile?

Even by deleting your profile Facebook still has ownership to your info that you've already loaded onto their website. Everything is stored by them . . .

Maybe so, but I don't have info on there so while I can, I'll rather move on.

Google also had the same problem with the Chrome Browser. In their EULA they laid claim to all content. They later changed it and backtracked. It seems a standard thing in many user agreements though. I think it is just a way of protecting themselves.

[quote="Facebook Terms of Use Headline on Mini Feed]A couple of weeks ago, we posted an update to our Terms of Use that we hoped would clarify some parts of it for our users. Over the past couple of days, we have received a lot of questions and comments about these updated terms and what they mean for people and their information. Because of the feedback we received, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog.[/quote]

FaceBook users have set up a 10,000 member FaceBook page to protest these changes,
while Zuckerberg has assured the users that FaceBook has their interests at mind at all times. LOL.

1. I wouldn't trust Zuckerberg as far as I can throw him.
2. Making a facebook page to protest facebook policies is akin to protesting Pick 'n Pay buy buying extra from Pick 'n Pay. People should close their accounts instead and write to the advertisers that they are doing so.
Could some FaceBook users be twits?
(maybe need to go on Twitter then).
