If the new captain doesn't make the promise, you can't give it much weight, and if it is Facebook, probably no weight even if they did :(
Probably not a great thing to confess to but I doubt I’d find myself caring what my acquirer was doing with their new real estate.
Obviously Facebook can do what they want within the terms.
Why shouldn't we expect more from companies? Promises should mean something. But really this is just another example of facebook undermining the basic fabric of society for its own gain.
No? Than it doesn't matter. The whole idea that because something is written into a contract that that automatically means that that his how things will be in the indefinite future is an illusion, and I've seen plenty of people burned that way. A contract only matters if (1) you are prepared to sue over it and (2) you will know what kind of remedy you want if you win the suit.
In this case the state of (1) is 'no' and the state of (2) doesn't matter because of (1).
