on Facebook people are posting a status saying they don't give person to Facebook to use there photos etc. Why r they posting this? is there a new Facebook change or something
better safe than sorry is right. Channel 13 News was just talking about this change in Facebook's privacy policy. Better safe than sorry. As of October 17, 2013 at 12:39am Eastern standard time, I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, or posts, both past and future. By this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute). NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. Y
I meant permission not person sorry

It's a pointless statement that people post and has been circulating for over a year. It stems from people mistakenly believing that Facebook will take ownership of content (e.g. photos) that users upload. The assumption that FB will take ownership of your content is completely false. Even if it was true, posting some irrelevant statement does not negate the terms and conditions that were agreed to when registering with FB. The statement only serves to make the people who share it appear to be fools. You should not share it, and kindly inform your FB friends about this meaningless statement to help stop the spread of this nonsense.
