You're signing away your content for free. Every single day.
Most Indian creators believe they fully own what they post online.
The legal reality? The moment you hit "Publish," Meta's Terms of Service kick in as a binding contract, granting them a royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, modify, and profit from your work.
Here's what their fine print actually allows:
→ Use your content in global ad campaigns, paying you ₹0
→ Chop, remix, and create derivative works without your approval
→ Keep your files for 90 days AFTER you hit delete
→ Plaster your face next to sponsored ads — without compensation
And if anyone shared or remixed your content? That licence survives. Forever.
It's not just Meta. YouTube, LinkedIn and every platform takes a piece. Some just take a lot more.
