The post included a block of legalese citing supposed Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) statutes that allow users to impose a \u201cReservation of Rights\u201d preventing Facebook and Meta from using or distributing such materials:<\/span><br \/>The new Facebook\/Meta rule starts tomorrow where they can use your photos. Don\u2019t forget the deadline is today! This could be used in lawsuits against you. Everything you\u2019ve ever posted is posted today \u2013 even messages that have been deleted. It doesn\u2019t cost anything, just copy and post, better than regretting later.<br \/>Under UCC Law Sections 1-207, 1-308\u2026 I am imposing my Reservation of Rights\u2026<br \/>I DO NOT ALLOW Facebook\/Meta or any other Facebook\/Meta related person to use my photos, information, messages or messages, both in the past and in the future. This statement I inform Facebook\/Meta that it is strictly prohibited to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this account and \/ or its contents. This account content is private and confidential information. Violation of my personal life may be punished by law.<br \/>NOTE: Facebook\/Meta is now a public organization. All participants should post a note like this.<br \/>If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you don\u2019t publish a discharge at least once, you\u2019ll automatically allow the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your account status updates. NOT \u2032\u2032 share \u2032\u2032 but \u2032\u2032 copy + paste \u201c!<br \/>Their new algorithm is chosen by the same people \u2013 about 25 who will read your posts.<br \/>Consequently:<br \/> Hold your finger anywhere in this post and a copy will appear. Click on Copy. Then go to your page, start a new post and place your finger in an empty field. \u2032\u2032 Insert \u2032\u2032 will appear and you will click on it. This will pass the system.<br \/>I\u2019m not giving Facebook\/Meta permission to share my information posted on their website. PHOTOS, CURRENT or PAST, PUBLICATION, PHONE NUMBER OR POST\u2026 Absolutely nothing can be used in any form without my written permission.<br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This was yet another variation of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/facebook-posts-made-public\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">familiar Facebook copypasta text<\/a>, which we identified as false in June 2012.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/articles\/369246\/what-is-copypasta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Learn more:<\/strong> What Is Copypasta?<\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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 (Meta) has not instituted or announced any \u201cnew rule\u201d that changes the conditions under which it may use members\u2019 content. In its current (as of Nov. 15, 2021) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/legal\/terms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terms of Service statement<\/a>, Facebook (Meta) notes that:\u00a0<\/span><br \/><em>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. <strong>Our Data Policy and Terms of Service remain in effect, and this name change does not affect how we use or share data.<\/strong><\/em><br \/>That same terms of service statement includes two important (though not new) declarations all users need be aware of. Essentially, although users own the intellectual property rights to the content they create and share, when they agree to the company\u2019s terms of service by using the service, and depending on their selection of privacy settings for their account, they also grant Facebook (Meta) a license to do certain things with that content:\u00a0<br \/>As noted by an attorney and social media expert in a 2012 ABC News report we quoted in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/facebook-posts-made-public\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous coverage<\/a>, posting a boilerplate legal notice on one\u2019s Facebook page is \u201cuseless\u201d:\u00a0<br \/>Brad Shear, a Washington-area attorney and blogger who is an expert on social media, said the message [that Facebook users are posting to their walls is] \u201cmisleading and not true.\u201d He said that when you agree to Facebook\u2019s terms of use you provide Facebook a \u201cnon-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any content you post. You do not need to make any declarations about copyright issues since the law already protects you. The privacy declaration [in this message] is worthless and does not mean anything.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0<br \/> <em>Have you seen other variations of this claim? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Let us know.<\/a><\/em><br \/><strong>Company<\/strong><br \/><strong>Navigate<\/strong><br \/><strong>Sections<\/strong><br \/><strong>Account<\/strong><br \/>\u00a9 1995 &#8211; 2021  by Snopes Media Group Inc.<br \/>This material may not be reproduced without permission.<br \/>Snopes and the Snopes.com logo are registered service marks of Snopes.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/facebook-meta-posts-made-public\/\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In November 2021, a copypasta post claiming that a new \u201cFacebook\/Meta rule\u201d allows Facebook (lately renamed \u201cMeta\u201d) to use members\u2019 photographs without their permission circulated widely on that platform.
