Facebook Ad Contains Photo of 9/11 Terrorist

SLbigE writes "A Facebook Ad for auto insurance includes a drivers license containing a photo of 9/11 Terrorist Mohammad Atta! From the article: 'WJR engineer Paul Roy saw this ad on his Facebook page today. The ad mentions that he was eligible for savings on auto insurance and includes a photo of a Michigan Drivers License. No big deal right? WRONG! If you look closer at the ad, you’ll see the Driver’s License includes a headshot of 9/11 terrorist Mohammad Atta!'"

Whew! Glad to know that! For a minute, I was starting to think you were a nutjob or and idiot. Or both.

But...

But we can admit that this picture looks the hell like a driver's licence picture. Unelegant however from the ad buyer, but this was maybe his best way to have a good ROI. At least, if the story gets a lot of attention.

Well, they're unlikely to get sued for using his likeness and I doubt a defamation claim would stick.

So?

Facebook owns any image you put of yourself on it and can use it in their marketing or sell it to third parties.

According to Wikipedia, Facebook started in 2004. This guy stopped using the Internet in 2001, or so the story goes.

It is a common agreement among these types of sites weather online dating or facefriendspace.com

Re:

Whoosh. The guy flew a plane into a building well before Facebook started, hence, the original comment is pointless.

Rub it down in habañero sauce. That should take care of it.

I'd give mod points for this brilliant piece of advice.

OP's story also made me laugh. Good stuff. I love slashdot =)
