Pro Tip For All Facebook Users: That big scroll of text that you click on before joining Facebook is called an End User License Agreement. It tells Mark Zuckerberg and everyone else on Facebook that you have surrendered a legal claim to anything you post on your wall. When you join Facebook, you agree that the information you will provide in the future is not private. When you subsequently get on your Facebook wall and post a bunch of legal text claiming that your posts are your own private intellectual property, all you are actually doing is creating a cute little virtual nesting doll of legal mumbo jumbo. But the legal contract you just created is the smaller nesting doll. No lawyer or judge will ever look at your little nesting doll because it is inside Facebook’s giant legal nesting doll. And if you ever actually decide to take Facebook to court… this giant legal nesting doll is going to kick your ass.
