This article is only discussing small parts of the original, but it's still worth a thought.The Facebook EULA, which can be found at <a class="user" href="https://register.facebook.com/terms.php,">https://register.facebook.com/terms.php,</a> says:"By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose on or in connection with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing."Although I guess many sites involving photos have an EULA similar to this, Facebook is in a category of its own. It is one of the biggest and fastest growing communities online today, and it is not hard to find out lots of information about a specific person in no time, as facebook members. Even if you delete as much of your facebook profile as possible, the fact that others have pictures of you where you are tagged will not really help. Your tag will remain.When your employer googles your name and finds a few-years-old pictures of you partying your ass off, it will probably not really help your cause.
