Face Book is now a publicly traded site, Protect Yourself!

This message is widely shared by Facebook Users From USA,While reading for the First time i was failed to understand what does it really means.I was thinking that it's some type of Hoax or scam like as many of others, as most of the times only these types of thing are shared by Facebook users at this Rapid Speed,But after reading it twice and thrice i got it that it refers to Privacy and Online security.
Now the question is that does it really Matters or Sharing or keeping this message on Facebook or at any other Online service will provide you any Security,And yes it also refers to some Laws,However as i am not an Legal Expert i was failed to understand where does it really point but while searching i got some info and Links regarding this You can check them Here and if you understand them correctly you can tell us too,However as i have understand this law has nothing to do with Online Privacy.



So now the First thing that matters is that do really keeping this will protect your safety.Remember that you are Online and while using any service you sign an Agreement with the Service provider,Therefore remember that keeping this Will not provide you any security if it's not compatible with the Service provider Terms and Conditions.If you have missed up you can check Facebook Terms and Conditions Here http://www.facebook.com/legal/terms
Now the second thing to remember is that Every Nation or country has it's own Laws for Online Services and they can Monitor Online services according to their terms,However in some previous years there are lots of Disputes have been seen between the governments and Service providers regarding this.

However according to me it's useless Keeping this in your profile as this can't provide you any Security,According to me it's just to scare the users.

On Friday, FACEBOOK will start using your photos














"On Friday, FACEBOOK will start using your photos in ads that will appear on the profile of your contacts. It is legal and was mentioned to you when you open an account. To prevent this do the following: Home -> Account Settings -> Facebook Adverts -> Adverts shown by third parties -> Edit third party advert settings, then choose "No one" in the list and save the changes. Copy this and paste in your profile."

This is an message that is widely circulating on Facebook,However the message is partially True and Partially False.
The First thing in the message is "On Friday" Actually this is an old message that has been changed a little bit and sill circulating on Facebook.Actually this "On Friday" refers to some Friday of 2011 when Facebook started Facebook Social ads Feature.These ads tells a Facebook users which of their friends have liked a page or a application and in this way Facebook recommends it to friends of a Facebook users.


But Facebook has clearly Stated-


  • Social ads show an advertiser's message alongside actions you have taken, such as liking a Page
  • Facebook privacy settings apply to social ads
  • Facebook don't sell your information to advertisers
  • Only confirmed friends can see your actions alongside an ad
  • If a photo is used, it is your profile photo and not from your photo albums
Here is an Example how this features uses it-
Or Like this-

As you can see in above picture that When the Feature will be active it will tell your friends that You have Liked the Page or an Application.

The second thing in the message is that you can deactivate the feature Obviously you can do this but it doesn't matters as this is not an Privacy Breach and If you will deactivate this feature still your friends can see those pages that you have liked as the Likes are Public.

Omg its horrible.My ex is still checking my profile.
its crazy now I can see profile visitors & My photo viewers
My complete Pr0file views : ***
Popularity Score: **Check yours - Link Remove

This is an new message that is circulating on Facebook,However if you'll see lots of users have complained that they have not shared this and they don't know how it has been posted on behalf of them,We have already shared lots of these type of Messages and Facebook Scam Here.We have also reported a same like that Here.

Remember that Facebook has already stated that there is no app like this who can show you Who have viewed your profile and any app which claims to do so is Bogus and it's againt the Facebook Policies.

As the users have said that they have not shared this then Most probably they are using any Bogus App which id doing this,Therefore we'll advise you to remove any app like that you can see the procedure here.

However When i visited the App it shows me some stats which is totally foolish sometimes it shows that 125 People are viewing my profile and they are from the same Place,it's amazing and sometimes it shows that 31 people are viewing your profiles at the moment and they are also from the same place.

As i said above that Facebook has no feature like this and Facebook has clearly said that these type of Apps are Bogus and no one should use them.
