Facebook's Proposed TOS Changes Explicitly Outlaw Selling Status Updates to Advertisers

This morning, Facebook announced several proposed changes to the site’s “Statement of Rights and Responsibilities” – Facebook’s governing terms of service document. Under Facebook’s current process, any changes to the SRR must be made available for a public comment period during which users can give feedback on the proposed modifications.
