Facebook Forever

Remember that picture you uploaded to your Facebook account? That picture, along with all of the information you upload onto your personal account now owned completely by the popular website.

The social networking website Facebook is under investigation by it's users for their terms of service, which outlines their ownership of all contents published onto the site.

Facebook this month has updated the terms by adding that even when a user deletes their account, all the information and contents of their account will still belong to Facebook and the account's contents can be used by the site.

Facebook chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, blogged that users can still use the site as they want, but declined to comment on the updated terms of service.

When news of the change got back to users, there were many "groups" formed in order to protest the new terms.

Facebook maintains that it is only holding each of it's users accountable, while others are interpreting the terms as an takeover of their own person.
