After the huge uproar caused by Faceboooks’ change in their terms of use the company has decided to tread very cautiously in this direction and have created the “Facebook Bill of Rights & Responsibilities “. This group gained close to 75000 members within just a day of its opening.

The focus here is for the group to revise the terms of use to ensure its written in a clean language and is not ambiguous.

“It will reflect the principles I described yesterday around how people share and control their information,” Zuckerberg said, “and it will be written clearly in language everyone can understand. Since this will be the governing document that we’ll all live by, Facebook users will have a lot of input in crafting these terms.”

There has been a lot thought that has gone to ensure that the user community is kept happy. Users will continue to own their content and when an account is deleted or deactivated this will promptly delete all user information.  Facebook is going out of its way to ensure that users do not get the impression that they will use any information from their profile pages.

“We apologize for the confusion around these issues,” the group administrators said. “We never intended to claim ownership over people’s content, even though that’s what it seems like to many people. This was a mistake and we apologize for the confusion.”
