How To Give Facebook Notice Not To Disclose Your Information

[edgarf76]

This is a post i found from a facebook friend that i think is useful for everybody with a fb acct. I copied and pasted below.

As of October 18, 2013 at 9:29 pm, 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 If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates.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

When you sign up for a facebook account, or when they make changes to the facebook privacy agreement and you CONTINUE to use it, you are agreeing to their privacy policy which gives them the right to do anything they want with your data, pictures, posts, likes or anything under their control.

Facebook users cannot retroactively negate any of the privacy or copyright terms they agreed to when they signed up for their accounts, nor can they unilaterally alter or contradict any new privacy or copyright terms instituted by Facebook, simply by posting a contrary legal notice on their Facebook walls.

The only way they don't have permission to use your data is to not to give it to them.

Whenever I see people post stuff like that on facebook, or any of those ones where facebook is going to start charging unless you repost etc, it makes me want to unfriend the person. I can't believe that in this day and age, people are still so stupid.

That's exactly right !!

Exactly, its spam, people complain too much about FB owning their stuff when noone forces you to use it or upload photos

My sister sent me a message through whatsapp saying that by forwarding the message they will not charge her.
I wrote back and said "how do you suppose they will track millions of people sending on the message?"

My sister is not a computer whiz by any means, but surely ones common sense should come into it. Just like when the email went around saying "if you forward this message Bill gates will pay you 5c for every person who then forwards it again".

Really. How will he do that?

When I see something like this these days, the first thing I do is look it up on snopes, find it's not true then copy the link to their post.

There is one going around at the moment that is years old about 2 boys who killed some dogs or something and that there is a reward for finding them.

It's YEARS old.

This is why the Nigerians still send around their emails saying they will transfer 18 million bucks if you send them your bank details.
I still can't believe there are people out there who fall for that one too.

Damn 18 million? They never offer me more then 12 so I am holding out to at least break the 15 mark.

Please put this on your status if you know someone or are related to someone who has been eaten by dragons. Dragons are nearly unstoppable, and in case you didn't know, they can breathe fire. 93% of people won't copy and paste this, because they have already been eaten by dragons. 6% of people are sitting in the shower, armed with fire extinguishers. The remaining 1% are awesome, and will re-post this. I dare you.

At least the Nigerian emails lead to things like http://www.419eater.com where the scammers get taken for a ride...
