On October 28, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company’s name has been changed to Meta. Since then, a post has been circulating widely on Facebook about certain changes in the social media platform’s terms and conditions, which will allow Facebook to use users’ photos against them during a trial. It instructs others to copy and paste the text to express their disagreement with the changes, and opt-out.

The complete Hindi message is as follows: “The new Facebook/ Meta rules come into effect tomorrow which allow them to use your photos. The deadline is today! Your photos can now even be used in lawsuits against you, including all the posts you have written to date, even messages that have been deleted. It doesn’t take anything, just a copy, and a post. Better to do it now than regret later. As per Sections 1-207, 1-308 of the UCC… I am enforcing the reservation of my rights…I do not allow Facebook/ Meta or any other individual affiliated with Facebook / Meta to use my photos, information, messages, or messages, past, and future. Press and hold your finger anywhere in this post and the copy icon will appear. Click on it, then go to your profile, click start a new post and paste this there. I do not allow Facebook / Meta to share the information posted on my profile–any photo present or past, phone number or post… Absolutely nothing can be used in any form without my written permission.”
