Facebook Scrambles To Contain ToS Fallout 409
Ian Lamont writes "Anger over Facebook's ToS update has forced the company to scramble. Yesterday, a spokesman released a statement that said Facebook has never 'claimed ownership of material that users upload,' and is trying to be more open to users about how their data is being handled. Mark Zuckerberg has also weighed in, stating 'we wouldn't share your information in a way you wouldn't want.' Facebook members are skeptical, however — protests have sprung up on blogs, message boards, and a new Facebook group called 'People Against the new Terms of Service' that has added more than 10,000 members today."

About not being told a reason to...
It is quite difficult to fire somebody with a permanent contract in Finland,
i.e. one can always sue the company for being wrongly dismissed. Because
termination of contract due trial period is one of the rare cases, which
really cannot taken into court of law, it is advisable not to give any
explanations in such cases. Advisable for a company doing the termination,
that is.
Thus, when people are laid off during the test period, they rarely get
anything other than "on the grounds of test period".
