The message below, which claims as of tomorrow everything Facebook users post goes public, or as of tomorrow everything you post goes public, is another fake Facebook privacy notice, policy or copyright declarations update started by pranksters as far back as 2012, to create massive panic on Facebook. Facebook users who have received the notice, policy or declarations are asked to flag them as spam or remove them from their Facebook Walls or Timelines, and should not share by copying and pasting, "liking," or commenting on them. Doing so will only help spread the hoax or misleading information to other Facebook users.

The All Your Posts Can Become Public Tomorrow Facebook Privacy Prank

The Fake Facebook Privacy Notice, Policy or Copyright Update Message

All your posts can become public tomorrow. Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. Better safe than sorry is right. Channel 13 news was just talking about this change in Facebooks privacy policy. 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 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 If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates.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.

This hoax is just one of the many Facebook privacy notices, policy or copyright updates that started as far back as 2012. Click here for more information.

Here is another scam:
"Don’t forget tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule where they can use your photo Don't forget 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.

Copy and paste.Wondered why Facebook was so boring!
This is good to know: It's ridiculous to have lots of friends and only 25 are allowed to see my post.
I ignored this post earlier, but It WORKS! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypa** the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed.
Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts. Therefore,
Hold your finger down anywhere in this post and "copy" will pop up. Click "copy". Then go your page, start a new post and put your finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste" will pop up and click paste.
This will bypa** the system.
DONE! Be smart and protect yourself."
