This is probably similar to the posts that regularly do the rounds claiming Facebook are asserting ownership of any photos or text you post to Facebook, when if you read the terms what they're actually saying is that by posting your giving them license to publish that content (because without that license any time they showed your photo to another user they'd be breaching your copyright).

I recall a huge user campaign against Facebook who were brining out a new update to their ToS regarding photo ownership back in circa 2011. They ultimately backed down. I can't find it after Googling though.
