TV LAND: High School Reunion (Premiere) at 10pm

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg attempted to reassure users about some recent changes the company made to its Terms of Use agreement on Monday after a Consumers Union blog entry called foul. The new terms deleted a former provision which stated that Facebook’s license over user-submitted content expired after it was removed from the site – meaning that Facebook is now reserving rights to UGC in perpetuity. Rather than promising to revise the language, Mr. Zuckerberg says the community is just going have trust him. “In reality, we wouldn’t share your information in a way you wouldn’t want, ” he writes. “The trust you place in us as a safe place to share information is the most important part of what makes Facebook work.”
