I'm wondering if the change has more to do with the way on-line content is becoming more and more used for litigation and prosecution discovery. I don't really think there's any serious business plan by Facebook to commercially exploit user content, saved or deleted.

I'm not concerned about my comments, but I just deleted all my photos and won't be posting anymore to FB. As a photographer, I'm not willing to relinquish copyright on my images to anyone. IMHO, this just made FB a whole lot less useful and interesting.

So does this mean that anything I've written and posted as a note is now the property of Facebook? What does that do to my rights to distribute through commercial publishers?
