Facebook message claiming users have 'copyright' to photos, timeline posts is a hoax | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

A new Facebook hoax has some users thinking they own the copyrights to material posted to their pages.

For commercial use of the above my written consent is needed at all times!”
