Did you know that even after you’ve deleted your Facebook account, the social site giant would still keep some info deleted users have created, like messages posted to friends.

To me that’s scary as it still leaves digital footprints of mine when I wanted it to be removed totally. Like Google privacy issues, if they want to connect all the dots, they could I reckon.

This was Facebook new Terms Of Service (TOS) implemented recently, but it seems the site has decided to revert back to the old policy, and even asking Facebook users rather than lawyers to help it TOS entirely.

The issue many people are concerned is who ‘owns’ the stuff users uploaded and included on Facebook. With 175 million users worldwide, this privacy data issue is a big concern as such ownership is debatable still.

So if you want to be part of the masses who contributes to the new TOS, join this Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities group.

Founder Mark Zuckerberg even blogged about it too

“We’ve decided to take a new approach towards developing our terms. We concluded that returning to our previous terms was the right thing for now … we think that a lot of the language in our terms is overly formal and protective so we don’t plan to leave it there for long. Given its importance, we need to make sure the terms reflect the principles and values of the people using the service. Our next version will be a substantial revision from where we are now.”
