Facebook returns to original Terms of Service

After a huge public outcry, Facebook has decided to return to its original TOS.

A couple of weeks ago, we revised our terms of use hoping to clarify some parts for our users. Over the past couple of days, we received a lot of questions and comments about the changes and what they mean for people and their information. Based on this feedback, we have decided to return to our previous terms of use while we resolve the issues that people have raised.

A sensible decision, considering their new TOS essentially let them do anything they wanted with your content, even after you deleted your account.
