Privacy Statement Scam
There is different versions of the privacy statement getting passed around Facebook. They are not valid. They have been going around Facebook for a long time.
There is no way to guarantee your pictures, documents or anything on your page is safe from being stolen. If you share it, it is no longer private. Here are a few ways a person can get a copy of your pictures and documents without your knowledge or permission. Click the hyperlink for more information.
Additional information
You can use the download option in Facebook. You just open the picture and there is a download feature. You can download the photos from there. More information on this can be found by clicking here.
Anyone that is able to see the photo or information on your page can use the Snipping Tool. The Snipping Tool is a feature that comes with Windows. It is available on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. There is also 3rd party software that does the same thing.
The tool takes a snapshot of the screen and you can save the snapshot as a picture. It will be saved on your computer so you now have a copy of the picture or article that is on Facebook. You do not have to get permission to do this (if it is legal or not is a separate question) Even if Facebook allows you to disable the download feature, they can still get a copy of it. For more information on the Snipping Tool, click here.
You can use the Print Screen key on the keyboard to take a snapshot of the screen and then you can paste it in a program like Paint to edit it.
Can you determine who steals my information
The answer is yes and no. If the person downloads it for their own copy, the answer is no. There is no way to know who made a copy of it. If they share it on the internet, try to sell it, or some other form, yes to a certain degree. If no one else stole it or shared it, you would know the person is the culprit. The problem with that is figuring out if the person is the original one that took it. You also would need the item copyrighted so you can prove it belongs to you. You probably can prove it is yours but without the copyright, it would be much harder.
Examples of the false posts going around
Example One
Now it's official! It has been published in the media. Facebook has
just released the entry price: $5.99 to keep the subscription of
your status to be set to "private". If you paste this message on
your page, it will be offered free (paste not share) if not
tomorrow, all your posts can become public. Even the messages that
have been deleted or the photos not allowed. After all, it does not
cost anything for a simple copy and paste
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 September 26th , 2015 at 01:16 a.m. 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

members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and
paste this version. If you do not publish a statement atleast once
it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as
