But let me tell you, the Privacy update is just a Hoax. So, don’t fall for it. Few month back similar post was circulated on the fb and they’re making the rounds again.
Surprisingly, even well-educated people, who understand how privacy policy of a company works, are also falling victims to this hoax, posting this creepy message on their timeline and encouraging their friends to do the same.
