#X A V I ♕ Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — There's a post making the rounds on social media claiming starting today, Facebook is going to make users' posts current and deleted public. That's not true. The post tells Facebook users that if they don't share a particular post, their information will be made public. Here is an example of the post: Last month, The New York Times reported that Facebook admitted that they gave certain companies access to users' private messages. But Facebook said they never did so without a user's permission. "To be clear: none of these partnerships or features gave companies access to information without people’s permission, nor did they violate our 2012 settlement with the FTC," Facebook wrote in a blog post. Facebook also had an issue with privacy when a bug in its platform may have given third-party apps access to photos of nearly 7 million users.
