Have you seen this posted from some of your friends on Facebook:
FACEBOOK JUST RELEASED THEIR PRICE GRID FOR MEMBERSHIP. $9.99 PER MONTH FOR GOLD MEMBER SERVICES, $6.99 PER MONTH FOR SILVER MEMBER SERVICES, $3.99 PER MONTH FOR BRONZE MEMBER SERVICES, FREE IF YOU COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SIGN ON TOMORROW MORNING YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT INFO...IT IS OFFICIAL IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES
It's amazing how many people post this and actually believe it. Apparently no one sees the Facebook homepage, where it says "It's free and always will be" directly under Sign Up. I also don't understand how people actually think that copying and reposting a message is the only way for Facebook to track that you logged in, they can do so just by you logging into your account. Facebook addressed the hoax on its own page saying "A rumor on the internet caught our attention. We have no plans to charge for Facebook. It's free and always will be." Also does anyone actually think that a company valued at more than $80 billion would need to charge users?
I remember seeing this all over facebook a few days ago. I immediately knew it was fake. The day facebook starts charging will be the day I think many people will move else where. There's way too many other social media outlets.
ReplyDeleteI just heard about this on Bobby Bones the other day! They said OF COURSE its a lie and that Facebook put out a statement regarding it. Silly, just plain silly. But it does make you wonder, if they DID charge, would YOU still stay??
