I don't think LL intends to use any of this nefariously; most of this probably is legalese for "I can take pictures of your beautiful sim and use it for advertising for Second Life."

Don't you just love the word "nefarious"? I do!! In fact it was mentioned on this week's episode of Elementary .

Back on topic, I agree with Phantom Republic but unfortunately the LL TOS change has resulted in some sites that provide material used to create SL content withdrawing their use in SL. For example:

[CG ]Textures] - Textures for 3D, graphic design and Photoshop!

6th
September 2013: Terms of Service update, using our images in Second Life is no longer allowed.

Why am I no longer allowed to use your images in
Second Life?
On the 15th of August 2013, Linden Labs changed their Terms of Use without any announcement or warning. One of the changes is the rights that Linden Labs claims when you upload your work.

We'll see how/if LL actually responds to this.

I have a rather simplistic view of Privacy Policies.

I operate under the assumption that anything I put on the Internet will never die and has the potential to be distributed i.e.once I've hit the Enter key that information is out of my control no matter what a current Privacy Policy might say.

This mean's that I'm usually pretty careful about information sharing and I try towalk a balanced line that gives me the benefits of Social Media etc. without inviting too much personal risk.

Companies are always changing their Privacy Policies which makes it really hard to keep up. Add to that the possibility that personalinformation can be distributed by mistake (I include hacking in this) and you come back to the conclusion that it's best just to be cautious up front.

In an odd way it kind of makes me impervious to LL Privacy Policy Changes so though I keep an eye on them I don't really worry about them too much.

There are quite a few discussions about this including Second Life license change implies they can resell your content from SLU if you want to follow up on it.

I take everything I read with a grain of salt
