Facebook Privacy Policy, this week we want to recommend that you use your rights to defend your information and content published on the Facebook platform.
This week it was announced that Facebook is a publicly traded entity, meaning an entity that allows the use of elements such as photographs and information contained in public status updates for themselves or third-party sites.
We recommend publishing on your profile and taking a screenshot of the status, including the date, to confirm that you have notified the platform.
This is a sample text we have used for the profiles we manage:
WARNING to any person, institution, or agent, including any agency or even governmental structure, not limited to the Federal Government of the United States, or any of its associated sites, who DO NOT have my permission to use any information from my profile, or any part of my content, including, but not limited to:
– My photos, and/or comments on my photos or any other image posted on my profile. I hereby notify that they are strictly prohibited from disclosing, copying, distributing, disseminating, or taking any other action against me with this profile and its content.
The above prohibitions also apply to employees, students, agents, or any personnel under their direction or control.
Therefore, I conclude that the content of my profile is private and confidential information. Violation of my privacy is punishable by law. UCC 1-308 1-103 and by the laws of morality of any country, and I will exercise my rights, with all their consequences.
This is a recommendation, and we also want to remind you that this week articles such as: Facebook could be the new Google, What does that mean? That the platform has ceased to be a site that connects profiles to become a platform that connects profiles with the content they collect in their daily activity (music, photos, movies, news…).
Facebook has changed its format and its raison d’être; now we have more content that has gone from being no-follow to follow (meaning it indexes in search engines). Also, as a user, you can go to privacy settings and state that you do not want to be findable either inside or outside the network.
Changes to sharing content from “friends”: Users can now know what content their friends read and share, and sometimes if you comment on information from third parties, from friends, from friends at any given moment, and of course, beware! We reproduce them without leaving Facebook.
Here is the current Facebook privacy policy
