"Our terms say clearly: You own all of the content and information you <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fbfacts/1573108242983244" style="color: #eb1e23; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;">post</a> on Facebook, and you can control how it's shared through your privacy and application settings," they said in a post: </div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
"That's how it works, and this hasn't changed," Facebook added.</div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
Facebook emphasized, users can view information regarding who sees which posts in the Privacy Basics tab; and the particulars on which information Facebook collects, and how they are used, and shared are available through the Data Policy tab.<br />

"Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry," the post followed. </div>
<div style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
