The Internet Doesn't Forget

The latest uproar on Facebook, is the recent change in their terms of agreement. The agreement that users " may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content.”

This has left FB members skeptical as to what Facebook will do with this archived information if the User choses to cancel his or her account.Founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, on the defense claims that Facebook will not do anything negative with the archived information.

Adam Ostrow of Mashable warns us to be more weary than ever of what information we put on the Web and that when we do post, it is permanant.
