Who gives Facebook the authority to do so?
- tambre 7y agoThose who agreed to the terms of service and uploaded their pictures. This is akin to asking who gives Facebook the permission to badly compress pictures? The answer's same.
- lucb1e 7y agoThis is a really weird question. If it's not prohibited, why shouldn't you be allowed to do something by default? Isn't that a basic thing in all(?) legal systems?
- messe 7y agoIn copyright, for example, all-rights-reserved is the default if nothing else is specified.
- dev_tty01 7y agoI don't know if this is a rhetorical question or strongly held belief on your part, but this kind of thinking is what has led to such a grotesque invasion of personal privacy via trackers and other data gathering techniques the last few years. Legality is not the right standard. How about basic courtesy and erring on the side of respecting user privacy? If all of us pushed our behavior to the legal limit, society would likely fall apart. Orderly society only happens because the vast majority of people respect the rights of others.
