::: November 12, 2007 :::
Ulrik Hansen pointed out in the post 'Why do we need two groups for this?' [1] that another group 'My photos are MINE! NOT Facebook's! Change the Terms and conditions!' [2] exists. When creating this group I did first search for an appropriate group to join, and did not find this one; maybe because it is listed under 'Internet & Technology - Websites'. If you want to show your dissatisfaction with the TOE then feel to join either or both group(s).
If it was possible I would like to attach this group to the other. However, I say: let the groups move on independently to show Facebook that the users (who they make their money on after all) are dissatisfied with the contents of the TOU.
