Facebook Hoax is Back

The Facebook post that has started to circulate again is still NOT true.

If you are on Facebook you have probably come across this on your news feed over the last couple of days. It reads like this:

“Deadline tomorrow !!! Everything you've ever posted becomes public from tomorrow. Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry. Channel 13 News talked about the change in Facebook's privacy policy. I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute). NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. Copy and paste”

This type of post has been around for a while and just like before is a prank. So there is no need to like, share or copy and paste.

According to Snopes, anyone who uses Facebook owns and controls the content and information they post, as stated in Facebook's terms. The user controls how that content and information is shared. That is the Facebook policy, and it always has been.
