Facebook proposes changes to privacy policy, affecting how users' likenesses are attached to ads

Facebook is proposing changes to its documents that govern privacy and how data is used in ads and elsewhere throughout the site. In light of the sponsored stories lawsuit, Facebook wants it to be clear that users are granting permission for their likenesses to be used in conjunction with advertising. The updates are scheduled to take effect Sept. 5.

An important change in the statement of rights and responsibilities notes that users would be granting Facebook permission to use their information in ads.
