A Note About Social Media

Realize most Social Media sites Terms
of Service include "a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license (with the
right to sublicense)“ on YOUR content.
OCTOBER 1, 2007
THIS is no “star is born” story for the digital age, though at first it may seem like one.
One moment, Alison Chang, a 15-year-old student from Dallas, is cheerfully goofing around at a local churchsponsored car wash, posing with a friend for a photo. Weeks later, that photo is posted online and catches the
eye of an ad agency in Australia, and Alison appears on a billboard in Adelaide as part of a Virgin Mobile
advertising campaign.
Four months later, she and her family are in Federal District Court in Dallas suing for damages.
On the billboard, Alison’s friend has vanished and so has the Adidas logo on her hat. Her image is
accompanied by a mocking slogan — according to the ad, Alison is the kind of loser “pen friend” (pen pal)
whom subscribers will finally be able to “dump” when they get a cellphone.
A Note About Social Media (cont’d)

Facebook



With over a billion users, Facebook is the definitive homepage for many web users.
Its terms of service, data use and cookie use policy span more than 14,000 words
over eight separate pages and would take even the quickest reader more than two
hours to dig through. But what rights have you handed over to Facebook?
Specifically for photos and video uploaded to the site, Facebook has a license to
use your content in any way it sees fit, with a license that goes beyond
merely covering the operation of the service in its current form. Facebook
can transfer or sub-license its rights over a user’s content to another
company or organization if needed. Facebook’s license does not end upon
the deactivation or deletion of a user’s account, content is only released from
this license once all other users that have interacted with the content have also
broken their ties with it (for example, a photo or video shared or tagged with a
group of friends).
Twitter

Fast becoming the second social network behind Facebook, Twitter's model for
monetizing the service has yet to be established, a fact clearly seen in its terms of
service. Twitter's terms give it broad scope to use, change and distribute any
photos, writing or video posted through Twitter's service, to any other forms
of media or distribution method it wishes, including those which Twitter has
not yet thought of or developed. Similarly to Facebook, Twitter's license also
allows it to pass any of your content to any partner organizations for any reason.
