META

Hi .  This message appeared on my FB messages  from a contact .  Is it  really necessary to do it ,does it work ?  or is it a pointless exercise - just a scare tactic going round ?

Do not forget Tomorrow begins the new Facebook / Meta rule where your photos can be used.

Do not forget that the deadline is today !!!

It can be used in litigation against you.

Everything you post will be made public from today - including messages.

It costs you nothing more than a simple copy and paste.

Better safe in advance than legal entanglements and apologies afterwards.

I do not authorize Facebook / Meta or any of the Facebook-/Meta related organizations to use my images, information, messages or posts, either in the past or in the future. With this statement, I announce on Facebook / Meta that it is strictly forbidden to copy, notify or take any other action of mine based on this profile and / or its content. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. Violation of privacy can be punished by law: Facebook / Meta is now a public institution. All members must post this note.

If you prefer, you can copy and paste this post.

If you do not post a statement at least once, your photos and profile updates will be allowed to be used.

DO NOT NOTIFY.

Copy and paste.

The new algorithm selects the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts."

Wasn’t something very similar doing the rounds ages ago, when Facebook changed their privacy settings.  Looks like someone has just dredged up the old hoax and changed a few bits to refer to Meta.
