Show Notes

- You can find the terms of service at the very bottom of most Facebook pages. It's a tiny link that says Terms.

- Under section 2.0, it says that you own all of the content and information that you put on Facebook. But, if you look under section 2.1 you'll see it says that in addition, Facebook is allowed to do whatever they want with your photos and video.

- Specifically, it says, "you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook."

- So, you own your stuff, but Facebook sort of does too. So be careful with what you post.

- Under section 4.0, there are many reasons why Facebook can delete your account, some of them being, "If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission," and "You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date."

- So if Facebook disables your account for whatever reason, you can't create a new one and you have to wait on them to see why they disabled your account in the first place.

- Section 14.0 of the Terms shows you all of reasons why Facebook can delete your account... and there are quite a few.

- It has section numbers listed so you'll know what you can and can not do, and why.

- You've already put up all of your private information on Facebook so you should take the time to read up on what is happening with your data.
