Don't forget that tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule where they can use your photos. Don’t forget the deadline is today!! It can be used in court cases in litigation against you. Everything you've ever posted will be public starting today - even messages that have been deleted. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry.

I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, past and future. With this statement, I notify Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. That information is my private message.
Violations of privacy can be punished by law NB: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post such a note.
If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tacitly allowing use of your photos as well as information in profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. Copy and paste.
Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25-who will read your posts.
Therefore:
Hold your finger down anywhere in this post and "copy" will pop up. Click on the copy button. Then go to your page, start a new post and put your finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste in" pop up and click on paste
This will bypass the system.
I DO NOT give FACEBOOK permission to share any of me.
