It's all about the timing

NPR is doing a piece on "the benefits of joining Facebook" on Talk of the Nation (starts now, not sure when in the next hour they'll be discussing that subject). Any bets for how long it'll take for someone to point out their recent "We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever." changes to the ToS?

ETA: It was the first question the host asked, before they went to the phones. He did the standard "oh, it's just so Facebook doesn't have to keep track of things you put on friends' walls to make it go away when you delete your account". Someone should tell them that using legalese to make up for lazy coding is not cool.

And this is exactly why I don't put anything really interesting or important online unless (a) it is on a site I do not control and there is some way for me to also put a copyright or creative commons license on it, or (b) I control the site, or directly know the person who does.
