Posting A Status Update Will Not Protect Your Facebook Privacy

Every few months, a chain letter-type status update makes the rounds on Facebook, declaring that the user’s data and content are off-limits for advertising or other uses.

This one has appeared on my newsfeed several times in the past week.

Yeah, good luck with that!

So here’s another reminder: Posting these updates do not, in any way, change your Facebook profile’s level of protection.
