As I indicated before, it’s nothing but a hoax. You should not post on your wall nor should you encourage your friends to do so. The “Graphic App” mentioned in this message is perhaps a pointer towards Graph Search feature of Facebook. Unfortunately we cannot change this configuration because Facebook has made it like this. So, please, place your cursor over my photo that appears in this box (without clicking) and a window will open. Now move the cursor to the word “Friends”, again without clicking and then on “Settings”. Uncheck “Life Events” and “Comments and Like”. This way my activity with my family and friends will no longer be made public. Now, copy and paste this text on your own wall (do not “share” it!). Once I see it published on your page, I will uncheck the same for you. SEE ALSO: Facebook Hoax: “In response to the new Facebook guidelines…” Although Facebook’s privacy measures have sometimes come under the scanner –but as blatant privacy breach as mentioned in this message is not at all true. First of all, there is nothing like a “Graphic App”. Secondly, Graph Search feature respects user’s privacy. An official statement from Facebook clears the air: Not only that this message is a hoax but also, if you follow the instructions given in the message, you will hamper your Facebook experience . The instructions given in this message, essentially, change your settings and stop you from knowing what your friends are doing (of course, you get to only those things that your friends share publicly)… This means if 2 people search “Photos of my friends in Tokyo,” they’re going to see different results. Therefore, this message is an attempt to fool Facebook users and making some nice features of Facebook go useless. Comment * Name * Email * Website
