Facebook Payment: accepted everything without reading - MDZol

With over 1230 million active users, the social network Mark Zuckerberg has become one of the most significant services in the network, a place where it’s easy to register but, however, offers a “contract” that not all users read nor understood.

TOS, also known as “terms of service” or ToS, are a series of clauses that we found when we checked into a service, we will first use an application or software being installed.

written clauses is usually in legal language (or pure legal verbiage, as we see it) and describing what the conditions of use of a particular service are what we do with our data, what responsibilities do we have or what obligations by the borrower for services.

Thanks to alt1040 , we will put focus on social network Mark Zuckerberg to analyze what conditions have accepted Facebook certainly no having read them.

-The clauses that define the conditions of Facebook, fortunately, are in Castilian and therefore breaks a little language barrier. However, despite the translation, Facebook makes it clear that what we are reading is a translation of a text written in U.S. English and therefore prevails as binding (which we accept as a contract) is version English so if there are errors in translation are not taken into account from the point of view of Facebook.

-On this basis, the text found in the conditions of Facebook, and no one usually read, is divided into 19 blocks, in turn, are expanded by a number of “clarifications” pages with more branches and attempting to explain (though it’s easy to get lost among so page) what does Facebook with our data and with the information that we generate on their platform.

-While Facebook indicates that we own the rights to the content that we went (our photos, our videos …), the social network of Mark Zuckerberg self-attributed a license while we service users and, therefore, can use our content or that generate in connected with Facebook applications.

other words, when we got a photo to Facebook, the service has the right to use and can show our profile picture on the widget that is used in a web or use a video uploaded elsewhere but, yes the visibility of the content depends on one’s privacy settings (and if we limited the viewing of content that we have published).

-When we remove Facebook content is not unreasonable to think that it disappears social network, however, things are not so simple. Facebook warns us that if we delete something may not go away completely because, as a good technology company, keep backups of their databases and files and retained for a while in order to retrieve information. Therefore, even if we delete something, it is more likely that Facebook still retains it.

-That an application to access our data, as Facebook is something that depends on us. Facebook makes sure to show what information and requires the connected application is on our side and accept these conditions of application (and share information with a third party) access.

-Because they use Facebook, the users we become “product” platform advertisers. Upon checking in we are tacitly accepting that Facebook use our profile picture, our name or our content for their advertising campaigns or segmentation algorithms, in this way, use our data to model the advertising we see or they can see other users (indicating a our friends that we like a particular brand). Our involvement in advertising is mandatory and, of course, will not receive any money for our participation.

-When using Facebook we allow our data we stored in the United States and, therefore, we apply the existing legislation at home. Anyway, there is a curious exception to users from Germany who have special conditions after various lawsuits against the social network in this country

-Facebook does not guarantee that its platform is safe,. Itself it is true that imposes certain “rules of use” and mechanisms to inform users if we stumbled upon exercising of stalkers, violent content published, be spammers or taking business away from established standards.

-To to register a Facebook account, the user must be over 13 and provide real information (no fake names or check impersonating someone else). In fact, checking, one acquires a series of engagements with Facebook, theoretically, we must fulfill: keep the contact information, do not share our password (though this should be obvious) not transfer the account to a third party, using data real and also abide that Facebook can claim (and take away) our username because it claims a trademark or complain.

-Facebook reserves the right to withdraw content published if you believe that violate their policies or if someone has claimed a violation of intellectual property rights. In addition, for repeat users, Facebook may consider disabling accounts without notice.

-Facebook can change the terms of service at any time, it is something that is quite clear. While it is true that alert users, when you apply the changes and continue using the service, the social network Mark Zuckerberg assume that we have accepted.

-Our bill can unsubscribe or off whether we ask ourselves as unilaterally by Facebook (for example, by misuse.) Deactivation is temporary, ie, we can return to Facebook and reactivate the account without the data was lost. For delete our account, Facebook will delete your data but, yes, we mentioned the prerogative to top: backups are kept

-Although we remove our own service, Facebook remains valid. some clauses of their conditions of service and also to keep backups, the likes we have done or the contents have been shared as “public”.

-Facebook is an American company, therefore the legislation that applies is that of his country: the U.S. law protecting copyrights (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) or the law of privacy protection video (Video Privacy Protection Act, ASFV) and, if demand the law that applies is the court for the Northern District of California or in state court in San Mateo County. In addition, Facebook is exempt from all responsibility for our actions and if demand for something hayamo fact, they must be free.

-Facebook no guarantees service availability nor is responsible for what users do, they drafted a code of conduct that attempt but that there is not guarantee that this will happen in 100% of cases.

-If Facebook does not comply with any of its clauses, not worry. Facebook does not comply does not invalidate the contract and if there is any clause that can not be enforced by technical or legal reasons not to worry, everything else still applies.
