A Facebook hoax that first reared it's ugly head back in 2012 is back again and proving that people will believe almost anything if the see it in their feed.

The post in question reads:

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 If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates.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

Again, this is a hoax! Your posts are not going public. Copying and pasting this message does not forbid Facebook from doing anything with your stuff.

Under Sharing Your Content and Information section of Facebook's terms of agreement, it states, "You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings."

Share this with your friends.
