Facebook SPAM

There was a viral message spread on Facebook that pertains to the privacy agreement just recently. In this message, it supposedly protects your private information from being accessed and that the privacy terms and agreement has changed. This is false. " It then goes on claiming that anyone can copy this text and paste it on their Facebook wall, which supposedly forbids Facebook to “disclose, copy, distribute, disseminate, or take any other action against [the user] on the basis of this profile and/or its contents.” Finally, the notice points out that “Facebook is now an open capital entity.” and that all its members are “recommended to publish a notice like this.” It is funny that such an item can be passed from so many people so quickly. I have attached the comment below for you guys to 'laugh at'. The theory behind this all is that the changing of Facebook to a publicly traded company will negatively effect users privacy rights.

In response to the new Facebook guidelines I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, illustrations, graphics, comics, paintings, photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Berner Convention). For commercial use of the above my written consent is needed at all times!
(Anyone reading this can copy this text and paste it on their Facebook
Wall. This will place them under protection of copyright laws. By the present communiqué, I notify Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, disseminate, or take any other action against me on the basis of this profile and/or its contents. The aforementioned prohibited actions also apply to employees, students, agents and/or any staff under Facebook’s direction or control. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of my privacy is punished by law (UCC 1 1-308-308 1-103 and the Rome Statute).
Facebook is now an open capital entity. All members are recommended to publish a notice like this, or if you prefer, you may copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once, you will be tacitly allowing the use of elements such as your photos as well as the information contained in your profile status updates…
