The timing of this article is ironic for me, since I just had a big argument with a friend about why I like Facebook less and less... There's one thing about this that confuses me: with a change like this to the ToS, why didn't they alert me and make me confirm that I agree with the new terms?

Simple, because the old TOS said they didn't have to. And why would they? "Hey we just changed our TOS to take even more control over your stuff, are you still okay with that? Yes/No" And if you're using Facebook now, you should be okay with the change because it's not like much has actually changed with regard to how FB is going to use/sell your data.

  One TOS to rule them all : "We can change this TOS anytime and your agreement to this TOS implies agreement to any changes made to it" No need to have anything more in it.

      Care to cite some european law about that? If true, I thing the GPL would also be illegal. I don't think that's the case.

Mark Zuckerberg could have been eavesdropping with his ear to the wall, been shocked by what he heard, and just changed the company strategy to do whatever it took to make you happy again. Then it might be ironic! Which is just an excuse to bring up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT1TVSTkAXg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT1TVSTkAXg.
