I would assume they have a clause about this in their user agreement, specifically because of this. Expect all big corporations to do the same soon and stop trusting them with photos because I don't think Facebook will turn the tide. This is likely going to be a one-off with other tech giants quickly patching the loopholes to make sure they can mine your data without any punishments. Not real ones, at least.
- toxicFork 7y agoYeah... I will look for alternatives for photo storage now, what a shame.
- mxuribe 7y agoYou can always switch to NextCloud, and it comes with an added bonus of no longer needing dropbox, google drive, etc. for syncing files. HOWEVER, NextCloud is not "free"; you'd either have to pay a provider to host your NextCloud instance for you, or self-host (both options are cheap by the way, but not free like google's option).
- WilTimSon 7y agoWell, can we really call Google's option free when it feeds off of our own data? I'd rather spend a few pounds a month on storage that isn't looking for ways to monetize me then save that cost and end up losing my privacy. What's more of a hassle is the setup since quite a few people will always choose Dropbox and Drive over taking the time to set up NextCloud.
