Is Facebook about to start charging its users to access the social network? No, but a new chain letter making its way across Facebook walls wants you to think so.
This rumor comes after Facebook's recent f8 conference in San Francisco, where the company announced sweeping changes to its Open Graph platform, allowing more sharing than ever before. During the event, Facebook also unveiled a radical new profile layout that will significantly change the look of users' personal pages.
The chain letter claiming Facebook will begin charging this year alleges that the site must charge its users a fee to pay for the new profile design.
The phony warning reads thus:
IT IS OFFICIAL. IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES. IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON, IF NOT YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED IF YOU DO NOT PAY
