The have also removed the clause that makes them subject to the privacy limits set in place by you on your profile. Check out this excerpt from the TOS Changes; This is one of the most important pieces of language in the whole document. You can (not) use your privacy settings to limit how your name and profile picture may be associated with commercial, sponsored, or related content (such as a brand you like) served or enhanced by us.
