While researching on the issue of Facebook's new Terms of Service, I found many news articles from many different sources. Some of the articles were from credible sources such as newspapers, while others were blogs by angry Facebook users. I discovered that this is an extremely hot topic as it has affected so many people worldwide due to the giant user base on Facebook. I found it interesting while reading a post from the Chief CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, that if Facebook were a country it would be the 6th largest in the world. When I read this I realized how big of a deal FB and a minor change in its TOS could be to so many different people.
After researching I decided that the most important pieces of research that I came across were an interview with Chris Kelly who is the Chief Privacy Officer for Facebook, the Blog of Facebook that was issued by CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the Bill of Rights of Facebook which is attached within the blog. These are two primary sources that are directly related to Facebook as they are done by people that are the most credible in relation to the policies of Facebook. I find it interesting also that due to the overwhelming responses of the users of FB, the site has reverted back to its previous TOS while it comes up with new terms. I am interested in seeing how things develop.
