Facebook Privacy Intact, Relax!

The Facebook Privacy message that you “Copy and Paste” is just a hoax!

 

Yes, you read that right! It’s just a hoax. For the past couple of days, we came across a Facebook Privacy Message. One friend posted it and then all of sudden the news went viral and then it really got on to my nerves!

How many times do I read this! “All your posts can become public tomorrow. Even the messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. After all, it does not cost anything for a simple copy and paste. Better safe than sorry is right. Channel 13 News was just talking about this change in Facebook's privacy policy. Better safe than sorry. I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. By 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 If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates.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. You MUST copy and paste.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is just a hoax! This is not the first time, it has happened before as well. For those who diligently copy pasted the entire post, don’t feel embarrassed. You are not alone and you are not to be blamed The message is indeed convincing. Why are we so vulnerable? Why do we hit the panic button at the slightest threat to our privacy? I agree that we must guard our privacy, but I also believe we should be wise enough to decide what we post and share on a social networking site like Facebook. Facebook has stated that you decide what you share and with whom. Apart from the like button, Facebook also has Privacy Settings, which allows you to customise your privacy. You still don’t believe this is a hoax, kindly check the official post by Facebook on Facebook  - https://www.facebook.com/fbfacts/1573108242983244

“By 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.” Seriously, did you think that Facebook was going to monitor every single profile to know if they are being granted permission to use contents of your profile? This sounds like an anti-piracy or intellectual property rights notice. Unfortunately the “Copy Paste” generation needs to be reminded time and again, read - understand then copy paste!
