When Antoine Sibierski's Duaghter was found dead the photo's used by the press were in the vast vast majority bought from facebook. This is in their T&C's whatever you put up on there they basically own and you transfer all copyright to them by posting. Thats just photo's, they know what groups you're part of, what ad's you look at, your interest's etc. etc. all very obvious as you do it on their site. That info is all valuable from targeting ad's on site to promotions based on regions and locations that companies will pay to find out. Thats what really annoys me about it, unless someone has specifically opted into a clearly laid out contract instead of the usual bullshit T&C/EULA they shouldnt have the right to do that by law, but they do.
I use it but I know what the rules are and therefore what I want to put up on there, mainly for fucking about in my dinner time laughing at some of the sad shit thats get put up and because I have a few old mates dotted around the world who all use it and its the de facto way we kept in touch. For me its a necessary evil, but if it got nuked tomorrow I wouldnt be that unhappy.
Likewise I use Twitter which is fantastic depending on who you follow, if you follow a bunch of "ZOMG! my goldfish just exploded!!!1" muppets then yeah you're probably not going to get the best out of it but if thats what some people want and who am I to judge.
