Question: According to this agreement, are there certain individuals who cannot use Facebook? If so, who cannot use Facebook? Review Facebook's Terms of Service Agreement:

  1. According to this agreement, are there certain individuals who cannot use Facebook? If so, who cannot use Facebook?

    1. Review Facebook's "Terms of Service" Agreement: Your first task is to review Meta/Facebook's "Terms of Service" agreement, which is available at this link: https://www.facebook.com/terms.php


  2. If you decide to post someone else's copyrighted work on your Facebook page without that individual's permission, is that allowed under this agreement? Can you identify a particular clause/sentence in the agreement that addresses this question?
  3. If you post photos or videos that you have taken yourself (that is, your own intellectual property), does Facebook have to get your permission each time they share it with others? Can you identify a particular clause/sentence in the agreement that addresses this question?
  4. Is there a forum selection clause in this agreement that requires you to bring lawsuits in a particular court or jurisdiction if you have a dispute with Facebook? In which courts(s)/jurisdiction do you have to bring a dispute with Facebook?
  5. Which parts of this agreement did you have trouble understanding? Which parts of this agreement do you wish you could have asked someone more questions about before agreeing to it?
  6. Which parts of this agreement do you think were too broad or unfair or you wish you could have re-negotiated with Facebook?
  7. Were you surprised by any aspects of this agreement?
  8. In your own life, do you treat hard-copy contracts that you have signed in your life (like a lease agreement) differently than ones that pop up online and asks you to click "I agree" or subjects you to a "terms of use" agreement (like Facebook does)? For example, are you more likely to read your hard-copy contracts, like a lease agreement than an online contract?
  9. Do you think there should be a difference in how contract law treats an agreement that pops up online and asks you to click "I agree" or subjects you to a hyperlinked "terms of use" agreement (like Facebook does) versus a tangible, hard copy contract that you sign (for example, your lease agreement with a landlord)? Why or why not?
