In case you missed it…
Facebook hoax number 874. It seems as if the Facebook newsfeed is filled with people claiming they are going to lose their privacy, charge a monthly fee, sell your information…you know the usual. This week Facebook users have fallen under the new hoax that if they do not post this status they will not be protected from copyright laws. Well Facebook friends, it’s fake. (Source: USA Today)
Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said, “ We have noticed some statements that suggest otherwise and we wanted to take a moment to remind you of the facts — when you post things like photos to Facebook, we do not own them…Under our terms, you grant Facebook permission to use, distribute, and share the things you post, subject to the terms and applicable privacy settings.” So everyone can stop being so gullible and carry on with their normal Facebook ways.
