🚨 Seen posts claiming that a new Facebook/Meta rule allows the company to use your photos without permission? But posting a legal notice on your page will prevent the site from doing so? Don't fall for it.

We rate the newer variation false as well, given that it is simply a slight rewrite of the older version and promulgates the same misinformation. Facebook has not instituted or announced any “new rule” that changes the conditions under which it may use members’ content. In its current The Facebook company is now Meta. While our company name is changing, we are continuing to offer the same products, including the Facebook app from Meta.

Our Data Policy and Terms of Service remain in effect, and this name change does not affect how we use or share data. That same terms of service statement includes two important declarations all users need be aware of.

This one's been around for donkey's years in one form or another! I've seen versions citing the Geneva Convention and the Rome Statute. People still buy it though.
