lol well I am too tired tonight to read anything long and boring like the t.o.u on Facebook actually I have never ever read a single terms of use. To me it's just some kind of legal crap that big corporations created to rip off us consumers lol. If this new terms of use is even worse than the old one I'll just add a watermark that says F*** Off Facebook in every single pictures I posted on there
we should start a facebook group called photographers against the new T.O.U. and have a watermark we distribute
