Robert Fellmeth is a Professor of Public Interest Law at the University of San Diego School of Law and executive director of the Center for Public Interest Law. His areas of expertise include child advocacy/children’s rights, consumer law, family law and professional responsibility. He recently contributed an op-ed to the Washington DC newspaper, The Hill, entitled “Millions of Strangers Can See Facebook Posts By and About Your Kids.”
“The problem is a term and condition in the Facebook agreement, which of course nobody ever reads. It applies to teen subscribers, who theoretically cannot have contracts held against them. But theoretically, by subscribing… they have consented to the capture of anything in a post, whether it be a photograph, a comment or whatever, and it’s re-transmission to anybody by Facebook for any purpose whatsoever.”
