Social media

Nowadays, a special type of post is appearing on everyone's wall on Facebook. It is related to the privacy of people on Facebook. Actually, in this post, people are sharing that they do not allow Facebook to use their photos or personal data. In this post, people also appeal to their other Facebook friends to copy and paste their post and publish it on their wall as a new post. Also, it has been claimed in this viral post that those who do not do this will legally give Facebook the right to use their photos or personal data. Because of this, this post has started appearing rapidly on everyone's Facebook wall. Now the question arises whether people can protect their privacy on Facebook through this post? The simple answer is no!

No one can post to protect privacy.

It is worth noting that when anyone creates their account on Facebook, they also accept the necessary terms of the platform. These terms tell what kind of data Facebook will collect from you. You can read this information whenever you want by going to the section on the terms and conditions of using Facebook. However, if you do not want Facebook to use your data, then posting anything on Facebook for this will not benefit you. You can control whether Facebook uses your data or not, but no post can do so.

What data does Facebook use?

There is no doubt that Facebook collects many types of information about you. This includes your name, birthday, groups, and contact data uploaded from your device. It understands from your way of using Facebook what you like to see or which features you use more. Facebook also has information related to your device, such as operating system, battery level, network, browser, and location. If you do not want Facebook to collect such information about you, then you can limit it to a certain extent by going to the settings, but this will not happen by posting on Facebook.

The message went viral earlier, too.
Investigating this message on the internet reveals that this Facebook post is not new. Such posts have gone viral earlier in 2024 and early 2025. The only new thing is that this time it is going viral in Hindi and India. If you also see such posts on the walls of your acquaintances, then you can share this news with them. Actually, for hackers and online fraudsters, these posts are like a kind of recce. With this, they can find out who can trust an online message without checking. With this, you are not able to save your privacy on Facebook, but you definitely become a target of online fraudsters. Before sharing such messages on your Facebook or any other social media platform, you must check them.

How to save privacy on Facebook?

By going to the settings instead of a post on Facebook, you can take control of your privacy to a great extent. For this, you should check your privacy settings. You can decide who can see your posts, photos, and profile information. Apart from this, turn off "Off-Facebook Activity" so that Facebook collects less data about your other website or app browsing. Check the list of third-party apps and websites and remove those that are not trustworthy. Control the ads being shown to you by going to Ad Preferences. Think before posting and never share sensitive information or location. This will help you manage the privacy of your account to some extent, but if you want to completely protect your privacy on the internet, then you will have to delete your account from such apps. However, despite this, some of your data may remain with Facebook.
