I'm guessing that since their fleet of lawyers wrote that wall of legalease everyone must have clicked on, they are pretty sure exactly what their rights are w.r.t who owns the contributions voluntarily sent to their servers.
- shawn 8y agoProperty rights must have seemed a radical idea at the time they were first introduced. And the time seems right for data rights. Actions like this only solidify the need for such protections. One of the central questions of our generation is, who owns the data we create? Do we, or do the corporations? Seeing as Zuck was dragged in front of congress back in April, I think questions like these will only become more important over time.
