History of Instagram New Privacy Policy Hoax
When this fake news first time seen on Facebook in 2012, Facebook also had to pass a statement clarifying that the warning was a fake statement. They said at the time, “There is a rumour circulating that Facebook is making a change related to ownership of Facebook users’ information or the content they post to the site. This is false.”
“Anyone who uses Facebook owns and controls the content and information they post, as stated in our terms. They control how that content and information is shared. That is our policy, and it always has been,” it continued.
