NEW YORK — A small Web company called Power.com has sued Facebook, saying it doesn’t follow its own policy of giving users control over their content. Meanwhile, Facebook is suing Power.com over copyright and trademark violations.

It’s hard to know who to root for here—though Facebook did recently claim that of your content belonged to them until they reversed themselves after a well deserved backlash. So we probably should be rooting for Power.com and greater freedom of use.
