If you’ve noticed your friends on Facebook starting to post lengthy status updates that ramble on about how posting such a rambling legalese type status update can render their content copyright protected and impervious to the legal actions of any government (or Facebook) official – don’t fall for it.
This status spam (which is the 2012 equivalent of chain letters) is not true. This is a repeat of another spam that appeared in June 2012. You do not have to post a update to gain copyright protection against Facebook – though if you like annoying your friends with lengthy rambling status updates – go for it.
