Hover Over My Name and Unclick Subscribed Message – Facebook Rumour...

posted by KaNisa

Hover Over My Name and Unclick Subscribed Message – Facebook Rumour.  “With the new ‘FB timeline’ on its way this week for EVERYONE…please do both of us a favor: Hover over my name above. In a few seconds you’ll see a box that says ‘Subscribed.’ Hover over that, go to ‘Comments and Likes’ and unclick it. That will stop my posts and yours to me from showing up on the side bar for everyone to see, but MOST IMPORTANTLY IT LIMITS HACKERS from invading our profiles. If you repost this I will do the same for you. You’ll know I’ve acknowledged you because if you tell me that you’ve done it I”ll ‘like’ it. Thanks!” False. The the ticker only reports things you share with others. If people are seeing things about people they don’t know, it’s because THOSE people have their info set to public. I’m seeing people posting this everywhere.The “hacker” part clued me into this being an inaccurate rumor as most people don’t know what a hacker is. Truthfully, if you have a Facebook Developer account (something ANYONE can get..it takes 2 seconds…I even have one for funsies) you can have access to everyone’s info. If you don’t want your info out there, don’t put it on the internet....
