|| By FITSNEWS || Thanks to the Berner Convention, your personal information can now be protected on Facebook – so long as you copy and paste a message on your “wall.”
Except that’s not true.
First, here’s the message that’s been making the rounds …
In response to the new Facebook guidelines, I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, illustrations, comics, paintings, professional photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Berner Convention). For commercial use of the above my written consent is needed at all times!”
Yeah. How many times have you seen that in your feed lately?
Two things, though. One: Facebook doesn’t own your images. And two: There’s no such thing as the Berner Convention.
“When you post things like photos to Facebook, we do not own them,” the social media giant clarified this week. “Under our terms, you grant Facebook permission to use, distribute, and share the things you post, subject to the terms and applicable privacy settings.”
The social media giant has yet to address this issue, though …

What a waste of time. Will, you really are struggling for content now that you can’t shake down the general assembly to abstain from bad PR.
this is the money face it happens only once every 5000 years
repost in the next 20 seconds or you will never have money again
I must have neglected reposting it 5,000 years ago. That explains a lot!
Love it…ok, Will are we allowed to repost this into our Facebook feeds?
