Twitter terms of service update? people want to be mad just because its a social network
Sep/090
I was just reading that twitter updated its tos and looking through twitter it seems that people want to be mad at the changed `because thats what you do when a social network changes its tos` but they just cant find anything.
One thing i notice.
Ownership—Twitter is allowed to “use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute” your tweets because that’s what we do. However, they are your tweets and they belong to you.
Wouldnt they want ownership of them or did they learn the lesson from when the fuckwit users of facebook bleated about their update where they claimed ownership?
Or is it a way to pass the responsibilty to the user?
If twitter owned the post would they be responsible for a libelous or false posting?
Seems easy to me.
Just let the users keep ownership and if there is any legal challenges just send them a link to the tos.
Or am i very critical and suspicious?
