One thing that I find hilarious: Facebook may take and reuse all your multimedia that you publish there, but Facebook's terms of service says that you are only allowed to publish things that have you as the only author. Effectively, one cannot legally share in Facebook works under CC-any-variant, GPL-and-family, and other licenses.
