Google Plus is het sociale netwerk van Google als antwoord op Facebook. Dat is wel bekend. Maar een blogger van Photofocus kwam met het volgende bericht:
You need to be aware of what you are giving up if you decide to use Google+ or any other Google service when it comes to your photography. Please read the information contained at this link. http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS
Waarom zal je denken? Nou vanwege dit stukje:
“By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.”
“You agree that this license includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services.”
“You understand that Google, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users, may (a) transmit or distribute your Content over various public networks and in various media; and (b) make such changes to your Content as are necessary to conform and adapt that Content to the technical requirements of connecting networks, devices, services or media. You agree that this license shall permit Google to take these actions.”
Heel simpel gezegd houdt dit in dat Google jouw foto’s mag gebruiken om te verkopen of weer te geven op andere websites zonder jou om toestemming te vragen of jou er voor te betalen.
