Safe to import into Facebook?

I was about to set up my blog to import into Facebook, until I read the fine print next to the "Start Importing" box:

By entering a URL, you represent that you have the right to permit us to reproduce this content on the Facebook site and that the content is not obscene or illegal.

So what does "reproduce this content on the Facebook site" really mean? Am I being paranoid by worrying that it's somewhat like YouTube (and Flickr?) and Facebook will slyly retain some level of rights to whatever I import and/or upload? Or is it really just an honest import of my RSS feed?

I am nervous about the honesty of social networking sites.  

Comments

Well... why don't you just email Facebook and ask them?

Also, each time I sign into typepad it asks me if I'm willing to "share my email address." Should I never sign in?

I think it will only share your email address with the site owner (me) and maybe use it to validate you as an approved commenter on this blog. However you want to leave comments is fine with me.

Okay, maybe I'll try emailing Facebook.

Post a comment

(If you haven't left a comment here before, you may need to be approved by the site owner before your comment will appear. Until then, it won't appear on the entry. Thanks for waiting.)
