“Don’t forget, the new Facebook begins tomorrow”: Chain letters appear again and again on Facebook that are shared by users completely unchecked. Many Facebook users do not seem to be interested in the fact that the text is meaningless and without context. Facebook is introducing new rules in order to be able to use users' photos freely, if the user shares the text at least once, then the user is exempt from these problems.
This chain letter is now a mix of different chain letters that we have repeatedly reported . Facebook itself published a statement about it years ago and pointed out the false report.
The Facebook status post as wording: “Don’t forget, the new Facebook starts tomorrow”
Don't forget, tomorrow the new Facebook (aka... New Name, META) rule starts where they can use your photos.
Don't forget that the deadline is today!!! I do not grant permission to Facebook and other Facebook affiliated entities to use my images, information, messages or posts, both in the past and in the future. With this declaration I inform Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The information: Violation of privacy can be punished by law NOTE: Facebook is now a public institution. All members must post such a note. If you want, you can copy and paste this version.
If you do not post a statement at least once, it will tacitly allow the use of your photos and the information in profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE.
Copy and paste. Their new algorithm chooses the same few people – about 25 – who will read your posts.
Therefore:
Hold your finger anywhere in this post and “copy” will pop up.
Click on “copy”. Then go to your page, start a new post and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Insert” appears and click on insert This will bypass the system.
Specifically, the status post states that “tomorrow the new Facebook (aka… New Name, META) rule ” begins. All photos that have been uploaded to Facebook should be made freely available. In the future, these photos will be allowed to be used in legal disputes against a person, for example. The status post continues: “Everything you post will be made public starting today – including messages.”
Posting the post has absolutely no effect
In the status post itself, the countermeasure is also mentioned, because simply sharing the text is intended to prevent the alleged new regulation: “I do not give Facebook and other institutions affiliated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts in the past as well as in the future. With this declaration I inform Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The information: Violation of privacy can be punished by law NOTE: Facebook is now a public institution. All members must post such a note.”
The fact is: simply copying and posting such a status post on Facebook has no effect
The reference in the post that the regulation will change “tomorrow” is also invalid, as other versions of the post have been circulating on the platform for years. The only new thing is the reference to the name Meta “…the new Facebook (aka… new name, META)”
Facebook itself knows about this chain letter and has informed its users HERE and writes:
You have control over your content
You may have seen a post asking you to copy and paste a notice elsewhere to keep control of the content you share on Facebook. Don't believe that. Our policies clearly state: You own all the content and information you post on Facebook. control how they are shared
using your privacy and app That's exactly how it works and that hasn't changed. For more information about who can see the content you share on Facebook and other topics, see Privacy basics.
You can also read the Data Policy to find out what information we collect and how it is used and shared. We want you to be well-informed and in control of your experience on Facebook.
It is also clear that Facebook uses user data for various purposes. This is no secret and you as a user cannot prevent this. You may also see such messages on Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and CO. These are not correct either.
And now?
If you see such chain letters, stop the spread by not posting it yourself without checking and inform those who share it. Always keep in mind that with such content other people can also be unsettled by such targeted false information.
Conclusion
This status post / chain letter is a fake. It doesn't matter whether you post the text to yourself or not. Don't worry, there is no deadline and you don't need to post a cancellation notice in your profile. The text is a persistent chain letter construct that spreads false information.
