A popular Facebook hoax is spreading again. If you have been on Facebook recently, you might have seen a status update warning users that their entire Facebook history will become public unless they copy and paste the message onto their own page.
Viewers have contacted CBS13 about the Channel 13 News hoax, worried that their Facebook profiles are about to become public. The person behind hoax claims to have seen a story about the changes on “Channel 13 News.”
Here’s the full text of a version of the post that’s floating around:
As “Channel 13 News” in the Sacramento market, we can safely say that’s not true. There have been no reports of a change in Facebook’s privacy policy this week, or in recent weeks.
To close, this is just a variation on how chain letters and chain emails have worked for years. If you share this article with your friends and loved ones on Facebook, something good will happen: Fewer people will be taken in by this hoax.
