How much do we really know about privacy on Facebook?

I know enough not to be reckless online with personal data. These tools have been given to everyone, but unfortunately not everyone understands the repercussions of their actions
 
A while back I decided to sign up on Facebook. I wanted to do it semi-anonymously, so first I had to have a fairly anonymous email account ( no cell phone no required ). Outlook.com obliged, but on signing up the terms of service seemed to be along the lines of "Microsoft has extreme rights to anything and everything you might mail like it or lump it stuff you. By the way, would you like to sign up on Facebook ( we'll have rights to all that too )?"

** All my stuff are belong to Microsoft. **

"Yes please, Facebook is what I want." On signing up the terms of service seemed to be along the lines of "Facebook has extreme rights to anything and everything you might say or post like it or lump it stuff you. By the way, would you like to sign up on Twitter?"

** All my stuff are belong to Facebook. **

"Yes please, Twitter would be nice." On signing up the terms of service seemed to be along the lines of "Twitter has extreme rights to anything and everything you might tweet or post like it or lump it stuff you."

** All my stuff are belong to Twitter. **

Then I try to post a comment on a news site. "Login with Facebook?" "Yes please." "Fine, but we are Disqus and we have rights over anything you write like it or lump it stuff you." ( I *think* it was Disqus - memory fades ).

** All my stuff are belong to Disqus. **

Stuff 'em all!
