Circulating Facebook message warns that, due to the new "Graphic App",
material posted on Facebook is no longer private and can be seen by
anyone. The message includes instructions for overcoming this supposed
problem.
Brief Analysis
The claims in the message are total nonsense. There is no such thing as a "graphic app". This is apparently a misguided reference to Facebook's new Graph Search functionality. Graph Search does not change existing privacy settings. Following the instructions in the message will do nothing other than stop you from seeing much of what your friends are doing on Facebook and stop them from seeing what you are doing as well. You can control who can see what you post via Facebook's Privacy Settings. Posting this false and misleading information will do nothing whatsoever to protect your privacy.
Example
Hello to all of you who are on my list of contacts
of Facebook. I would like to ask a favor of you…. You may not know that
Facebook has changed its privacy configuration once again. Thanks to the
new "Graphic app", any person in Facebook anywhere in the world can see
our photos, our "like" and our “comments”. During the next two weeks, I
am going to keep this message posted and I ask you to do the following
and comment "DONE". Those of my friends who do not maintain my
information in private will be eliminated from my list of friends,
because I want the information I share with you, my friends, to remain
among my friends and not be available to the whole world. I want to be
able to publish photos of my friends and family without strangers being
able to see them which is what happens now when you choose "like" or
"comment".
Unfortunately we cannot change this configuration because Facebook has made it like this. So, please, place your cursor over my photo that appears in this box (without clicking) and a window will open. Now move the cursor to the word "Friends", again without clicking and then on "Settings". Uncheck "Life Events" and "Comments and Like". This way my activity with my family and friends will no longer be made public. Now, copy and paste this text on your own wall (do not "share" it!). Once I see it published on your page, I will un-check the same for you .
