Facebook: Who Owns What? – Zvulony & Co. By Shaya Silber and Gil Zvulony, Toronto Internet Lawyers What are the rules of ownership for content that users upload on social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter?
Once an idea is expressed in a fixed form, copyright ownership is immediately vested in that work. The copyright protection is granted under the Copyright Act, by default. No registration is required (though copyright registration may be worthwhile in some circumstances). Therefore, when you take a picture, record a song, write a note or produce any other kind of content, you are automatically granted copyright ownership in that work (assuming it has not already been created by someone else, in which case the person who expressed it first in a fixed form would be the copyright owner, unless done in the course of employment).

Keeping Passwords Secure. Pedro Canahuati, VP Engineering, Security and Privacy As part of a routine security review in January, we found that some user passwords were being stored in a readable format within our internal data storage systems.
This caught our attention because our login systems are designed to mask passwords using techniques that make them unreadable. We have fixed these issues and as a precaution we will be notifying everyone whose passwords we have found were stored in this way. To be clear, these passwords were never visible to anyone outside of Facebook and we have found no evidence to date that anyone internally abused or improperly accessed them. We estimate that we will notify hundreds of millions of Facebook Lite users, tens of millions of other Facebook users, and tens of thousands of Instagram users.
In the course of our review, we have been looking at the ways we store certain other categories of information — like access tokens — and have fixed problems as we’ve discovered them.

Facebook: History. Yes, You Should Delete Facebook – Member Feature Stories. I deleted my Facebook a few weeks ago, but it started scaring me last March.
A friend and I ran into one of his investors in a café in San Francisco, and the investor asked if we’d heard of a Soylent competitor, Ample. He was curious what we thought of it and of meal replacement companies in general. I hadn’t heard of Ample, but I shared my concerns with Soylent, and why I personally would never put my money into one of those companies. My friend, for the most part, agreed. The conversation ended and we left. It was spooky to say the least. After a bit of digging, I discovered I wasn’t alone. Now to be clear, this probably isn’t happening.
