It circulates among us, it warns us of what bad can happen to us and urges for its dissemination. The particular hoax (prank) is a variant of an earlier one. The hoax states:
I ADDRESS to all of you who are on my contact list from Facebook . I would like to ask a favor from you….
You might not know that Facebook has changed the way we configure our privacy again. Thanks to the new "Pictures app", every person on FB anywhere in the world can see our photos, our "observations" and our "comments". During the duration of the next two weeks, I'm going to keep this message and I ask you to do what I write below and when you do it in the comment to write "Done" so I know you did it.
Those who do not should be removed from my friends list, because I want the information I will share with you, my friends, to remain among my friends and not be available worldwide. I want to be able to post photos of my friends and family without strangers being able to see them, which is what happens now when you select "like" or "comment". Unfortunately we can not change this configuration, because FB has done this without our permission, except this way below1. So please hover over the photo my that appears in this box (without clicking) and a window will open.
2. Now move the cursor to the word "Friends" again, without clicking and then to "Settings". Click on "Settings"
3. Un –check “Important Personal Moments / Life Events” and “Comments and Like” to be () like this. This way the activity with my family and friends will not be made public.
4. Now copy and paste this text into your own wall (not share.) Copy paste .. When I see it on your page, I will do a -check the same.
Of course, none of this applies as long as every Facebook user has accepted the terms supply services of the website to register with Facebook. Whatever you write on your timeline is unnecessary as you are part of a social network with its own rules and terms of use.
The hoax creator tries to take advantage of the latest publications about the changes that the popular social network is making. Of course, the insecurity of any user who thinks the data he has uploaded to his page would not want to be in the hands of third parties causes the prank to spread.
However, if you do not want your third party to use your data, it is advisable not to post them, so simple.
Meanwhile the creator of hoax sees the first post he made spread and laughs….
