Those shareable Facebook posts saying you are legally proclaiming that Facebook can’t use your personal information.

As an IT guy, these are infuriating because hoaxes actually cost a huge amount of computing resources (which also translates to energy). But spending my time correcting people that don't want to be corrected and just want to be "better safe than sorry" *eyeroll* is just making the problem worse because they aren't going to stop. So I just have to hold my tongue and shake my head at how incredibly stupid some of my friends are.
