Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law. NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.

I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA.

Por si acaso... Cuídense todos. Mañana es un gran día. Es oficial. Se firmó a las 6:00 a. m. Incluso salió en la televisión. El mío realmente se puso azul. No olviden que mañana marca el inicio de la nueva norma de Facebook (también conocida como Meta), la cual les permite utilizar sus fotos. ¡¡¡No olviden que la fecha límite es hoy!!!

Según el programa *60 Minutes*:
Por si se lo perdieron: un abogado nos aconsejó publicar esto. La violación de la privacidad puede ser sancionada por la ley. NOTA: Facebook (Meta) es ahora una entidad pública. Todo miembro debe publicar una nota como esta.

POR LA PRESENTE DECLARO QUE NO DOY MI PERMISO PARA QUE FACEBOOK O META UTILICEN NINGUNO DE MIS DATOS PERSONALES.
