In a recent move to ensure the privacy of users and to make certain that users comply with the website’s terms of operation, Facebook Inc. has now revised and updated its Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (SRR). These updated guidelines have been conceived to make the terms of use of Facebook clearer to the existing users and the visitors as well.

One of the most important clauses in the revised terms of use, is the prohibition of a user’s status updates to gain monetary benefits. Any and all users are prohibited from using financially oriented status updates.

As per the new updates to Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, the Facebook page states,

“If you violate the letter or spirit of this Statement, or otherwise create possible legal exposure for us, we can stop providing all or part of Facebook to you. We will notify you by email or at the next time you attempt to access your account. You may also delete your account or disable your application at any time. In all such cases, this Statement shall terminate, but the following provisions will still apply: 2.2, 2.4, 3-5, 8.2, 9.1-9.3, 9.9, 9.10, 9.13, 9.15.1, 9.18, 10.3, 11.2, 11.5, 11.6, 11.9, 11.9, 11.12, 11.13, and 14-18.”
