2. WHAT'S MINE IS YOURS, WHAT'S
YOURS IS... FACEBOOK'S?
Rumor has it that Facebook owns all
user intellectual property, including
videos and photos.
But is all this hype based on truth?

3. HERE'S THE TRUTH
Facebook does not own user intellectual
property.
However, anything that you post to Facebook
using the public privacy setting is up for grabs.
This means that Facebook can use any of your
status updates, videos, or pictures if you don’t
limit your privacy settings.

4. You own and control the content and the
information that you share. If you don’t want
your posts to be fair game, don’t post pictures,
videos, or status updates with a public privacy
setting.

5. "BUT I DON'T LIKE THAT."
If you disagree with the Facebook Privacy Policy, here are a
few things you can do.
‐Don’t sign up for a Facebook account. If you already have one,
cancel your account.
‐Bilaterally negotiate a modified policy with Facebook. You can
go through Facebook’s Governance section and lobby against
the social network to change or amend its policy regarding
intellectual property.
‐If you want to argue your rights with Facebook, Facebook
welcomes you to do so.
