The rumour's something like this:
Better safe than sorry is right. Channel 13 News was just talking about this change in Facebook's privacy policy. Better safe than sorry. As of September 26th , 2015 at 01:16 a.m. Eastern standard time, 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 If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates.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.
It’s actually a hoax that has been around -- and debunked -- for a while. The idea is that Facebook users must post the status so that their pictures and information still belong to them. But in truth, anything posted to Facebook belongs to the user, regardless of any status update.
"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," Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said in a statement last year. "Under our terms, you grant Facebook permission to use, distribute and share the things you post, subject to the terms and applicable privacy settings."
Tbh: It's a hoax that has been circulating for some time now and there is every chance that you will see it again in the nearest future.
Some even go as far as stating that Facebook is just going public and hence the change in the privacy policy settings. Well, for your information;
My dear learned people of Facebook, I do understand your fuss about Facebook's so-called 'new privacy policy'. I mean it's not cool if it's really true, only that this time it's not. You are cultured people who work by the books -- established facts. As a rule of thumb, always strive to know the truth about anything before you react. You will save yourself and a host of others a lot of troubles that way. Trust me, flooding your friends timelines with these kind of false information and emploring others to do so can be annoying to many and in turn, might make you lose a good fraction of your friends and interactions.

Facebook Inc. began selling stock to the public and trading on NASDAQ on May 18, 2012.So, I wonder where the news is coming from that Facebook is just going public.
