FACEBOOK’s Privacy Policy Hoax

Chances are good that you saw this on your facebook newsfeed last night.  Are you one of the many who actually 'copied' and 'pasted' it?  According to several media outlets along with Snopes.com, this is a HOAX!

If you didn't see it, here it is:

Better safe than sorry is right. Channel 13 News was just talking about this change in Facebook's privacy policy. Better safe than sorry. As of September 26th , 2015 at 01:16 a.m. Eastern standard time, I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, 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 If you do not publish a statement atleast once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates.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

This just has gullible written all over it.  Let's just point out the fact, in case you didn't already know, ANYTHING you put on social media is, indeed, NOT PRIVATE!!
