"There's nothing unusual in that agreement. It sounds like every other social network."
I don't use any other social network, and this is one of the reasons why.
I have now deleted my profile on LinkedIn, which is a shame as I had a nice recommendation from a customer at a past job on there. Then again, the site has only ever generated me irrelevant junk mail from agencies rather than useful leads anyway.
- mattblalock 17y agoWhy does it matter if a social network has a non-exclusive license to content you post to their website?* *This is a serious question.
- mrkurt 17y agoMost any corporate site that allows user supplied content has similar terms. They need the legal ability to distribute what you provide them, which is why you need to license it to them. Lots of them go a little more overboard than they should, I think, it's just the normal lawyer speak cover-your-ass thing.
