Washington, February 17: Social-networking giant Facebook revised its user Terms of Service (TOS) without much noise on February 4, according to the Consumerist blog.
It was revealed that the free-access website could now use its members' photos, scribblings and status updates if it wanted to promote itself or create or sell advertisements - even after their accounts had been deleted.
The site declared that though the ownership remained with the users, yet it contained an everlasting license to use anything posted on its pages, which is stored in its archives, and at any time.
Fox News reported, "theoretically, it can even `license' a picture of your kids for use in a third party''s ad campaign."
