(Read more about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/help\/1952307158131536?helpref=related\">our partnership with Facebook<\/a>.)<br \/>There is no such rule change and posting a notice barring Facebook from implementing it doesn\u2019t have any effect.<br \/>This online rumor\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Technology\/facebook-copyright-hoax-copy-paste-copyright-facebook-message\/story?id=17811357\">first appeared<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/facebook-posts-made-public\/\">in November 2012<\/a>\u00a0when Facebook started trading\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/ask\/answers\/111015\/when-did-facebook-go-public.asp\">publicly<\/a>, and while the language is tweaked from earlier iterations, the message remains the same: Post this or else Facebook has control of your content.<br \/>But users cannot just undo the privacy or copyright terms they agreed to when they first signed up and made an account. As well, simply posting a notice will not have any impact on new policy changes.<br \/>Meanwhile, the company\u2019s data policy and terms of service haven\u2019t changed.<br \/>&#8220;The Facebook company is now Meta,&#8221; reads a disclaimer at the top of the company\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/legal\/terms\">terms of service page<\/a>. &#8220;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.&#8221;<br \/>The website adds: &#8220;You own the intellectual property rights (things like copyright or trademarks) in any such content that you create and share on Facebook and the other Facebook Company Products you use. Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want.&#8221;<br \/>While users own the rights to their content, they gave Facebook license to do certain things with that content when they signed up and agreed to the company\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/legal\/terms\">terms of service:<\/a><br \/>When you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings).<br \/>But it isn\u2019t so much status updates or photos that Facebook is necessarily interested in,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/about\/privacy\/update\">it\u2019s data.\u00a0<\/a>Facebook, as well as other websites, wants to know details like age, gender, marital status and general interests to help it better target advertisements to its users.<br \/>Social media posts claim that Facebook has a new rule that gives the company permission to use your photos and that posting a notice on your page will bar it from doing so.<br \/>This is an old hoax. There is no such rule change and posting a notice doesn\u2019t override the company\u2019s terms of use that users agree to when they sign up for an account.<br \/>We rate it Pants on Fire!<br \/><strong><em>This fact check was originally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/factchecks\/2021\/nov\/17\/facebook-posts\/no-facebook-doesnt-have-new-rule-allows-it-use-peo\/\">published by PolitiFact<\/a>, which is part of the Poynter Institute.
