Chrome’s TOS: All Your Post Are Belong to Us?

Yesterday, I wrote about the latest web browser that is quickly making inroads on the web: Google Chrome. Among all the oohs and ahhs it has been generating, many people have questioned whether or not the browser’s terms of service give Google ownership over any content you publish via their browser. Fortunately, Google has cleared things up. Section 11.1 of Chrome’s revised TOS now simply reads, “You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.”

P.S. In case you’re wondering, the title of this post was inspired by this popular meme.
