New Facebook Craze Can Violate Terms of Service

That whole "Doppelganger Week" thing going around Facebook right now could actually be a violation of the site’s terms of service agreement. Don't be sad, it’s probably for the best anyway. Trust me, have you seen some of the celebrities your friends think they look like?

The catch is, putting up a celebrity photo on your Facebook profile may not actually be kosher. In the company's terms of service, it says: "You will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates the law...We can remove any content or information you post on Facebook if we believe that it violates this Statement." So unless you took that celebrity photo yourself or bought the rights to it, it may be in violation.
