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". Over 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 my photo that appears in this box (without making click ) 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 since every Facebook user has accepted the website's terms of service in order to register on Facebook. Whatever you write in timeline It is unnecessary for you as you are part of a social network with its own rules and terms of use.
The creator of the hoax is trying to take advantage of the latest posts about the changes that the popular is preparing social network. Of course, the insecurity of each user who thinks that the data he has uploaded to his page would not be in the hands of third parties, causes the hoax 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….
