( Screengrab from Facebook ) If you're on Facebook, chances are you saw at least one friend post some legalese-looking status update that claimed they were declaring copyright over all the things on their profile, in light of the social network becoming a publicly traded company. Legit? No. Effective at illustrating the herd mentality that can sometimes occur through social networks? Most definitely. The rumor grew to the point that Facebook was compelled to debunk it. |
