Why won’t Facebook hoaxes die?

Facebook privacy hoaxes just won’t die. It seems like every few months, some extended family member or high school “friend” will post a big block of legalese-style text, urging others to share it in their own feeds with a promise that it will somehow protect their privacy. Two different ones are circulating now. One claims that Facebook will now start charging a subscription fee in order to keep posts private — unless the user copy and pastes the message advertising the fee into their Facebook status. But, of course, the company is planning no such thing. And Facebook has fact checked similar posts that have gone viral in the past. So why do the hoaxes keep coming back?/ Andrea Peterson , Washington Post. More here.

Question: Are you susceptible to Facebook privacy hoaxes, like the ones circulating now?
