    It is a breach of privacy. I'd call it entrapment, honestly. They have such a user base to just change policies now is almost criminal.

    All this crap about it is "free" so you have to sign away your life is ridiculous.

    Basically, they can put Getty out of business by taking all the billion vacation shots, pro photogs portfolios, etc., and selling them. That is what we are talking about here - the almost limitless control and profiting off the user's photos.

    Think of all the professional photographers that have their work on there. What's to stop them from creating a stock photo "store" - just browse through anyone's pics, click "buy now" and bingo, you got professional photos and all the money goes to Facebook.

    Thankfully, I haven't uploaded pics there. Now I know I never will.

    • Pretty sure Facebook could just buy Getty if that's what they were after.i_monk
    • thought it be too far off their core interest.pango
