Is it true that Facebook will be paid. Facebook will be paid from November this year? How much will the paid version of Facebook cost?

Facebook will remain free. This is reported on the official website of the leadership of the social network.

Earlier, the American edition of National Report reported that from November 1, 2014, you will have to pay $ 2.99 per month for using Facebook.

Why Facebook will remain free and why National Report information should not be trusted, says AiF.ru.

Why will Facebook remain free?

In its official statement, Facebook management ruled out the possibility of introducing a fee for using the service.

Facebook- free service, we will never charge you for using the site. However, you do have the option to make purchases related to games, apps, and other items. In addition, if you use Facebook with mobile phone, please note that internet usage and/or text messaging may incur charges based on the rates of your mobile operator', the social network says.

The media note that readers should not trust the “news” of the National Report online publication, which launched a “duck” about Facebook monetization. After all, the satirical portal NR is not a mass media and therefore does not bear any responsibility for fictional sensations.

Also, the fact that the news about the introduction of fees for the social network is a “duck” is also indicated by the presence in NR of instructions on how not to pay for using the service. In this case, the publication advises writing in your status: “I am poor Facebook please wave my monthly fee” (“Facebook, I am poor, please don’t charge me a monthly fee”), and add the hashtag #FacebookMonthlyFee.

The most famous "ducks" National Report

On August 18, 2014, an article appeared in NR stating that, by order of the special services, a group dedicated to drugs was created on Facebook. Members of it will allegedly be arrested. At the time, a Facebook spokesman called the article a "spectacular lie."

In October 2013, "news" was leaked to the media that Barack Obama intended to invest his own money in a Muslim museum to save it from closure.

In July 2013, news broke in NR that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer intended to introduce compulsory courses for gays in schools to help them return to their traditional orientation. The governor's spokesman called the article "mean" and said the author should be ashamed.

In July 2012, news broke that illegal immigrants had illegally taken control of the small town of Sarita, Texas.

A new wave of reposts is rampant on the Facebook social network - the text is copied from one blog to another: “In response to the new Facebook policy, I hereby declare that all my personal data, illustrations, drawings, articles, comics, pictures, photos, videos, and so on are subject to my copyright (according to the Berne Convention)” and hereinafter.
Copying this statement is completely pointless and will not result in copyright protection, Gawker warns. The authors point to the following reasons:
- The author of any message is automatically the owner of the copyright on it, which is indicated in the Facebook help: “Help Center” and Statement of Rights and Responsibilities: “You are the copyright holder. By uploading content, you grant us the rights to use and broadcast the content."
- You already agreed to allow Facebook to use your intellectual property published on Facebook when you signed up, as stated in the statement of rights and obligations: "You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right to use any information you post on or in connection with with facebook. You cannot change this agreement with a single status update! The Facebook license ends when you delete your intellectual property.
- Facebook's status as a public company does not affect copyright compliance in any way.
The management of the social network denied this message, calling it false. “There are rumors circulating on the social network that Facebook is making changes to the regulation of the rights to user data or content published on the site. This is not true,” news agencies quoted the official statement of the company.
Thus, a statement distributed over the network is nothing more than spam. I recall a pathetic post about giving 115 Dolmatian puppies, and if you don’t take them, they will be drowned. Subsequently, it turned out that this statement was spam, and malicious: when trying to call kind-hearted rescuers of puppies, a significant amount was debited from the mobile.
Let's remember other myths about this popular social network.

1. Paid Facebook. Earlier this year, the US edition of National Report reported that from November 1, 2014, users will have to pay $2.99 ​​per month for using the service. The message caused a huge resonance, but few people paid attention to the satirical bias of the publication, which repeatedly published fake scandalous news. This fake made a lot of noise. and Facebook representatives had to give a rebuttal. It read, in part: "Facebook is a free service, we will never charge you for using the site. However, you have the ability to make purchases related to games, apps, and other items. In addition, if you use Facebook with mobile phone, please note that internet usage and/or text messaging may incur charges based on your mobile operator's rates."

2. Facebook is tracking users. largest social network Facebook works like spyware: keeps track of what sites its users go to and maybe even reads comments and emails. This fact was revealed by Businessinsider journalists while testing the Abine DNT+ utility. This is a small program that detects special files, the so-called "trackers", which collect data about the user's movements and transfer them to the owners. Such files are registered among Cookies- small pieces of information that are exchanged between the user's computer and the server of the requested site. Usually they are used to maintain statistics, save user settings and passwords for quick access to the website.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Facebook, Google and Yahoo web platforms have a hidden user tracking interface. According to the main whistleblower of the 21st century, such functionality was developed specifically for American intelligence, which thus receives one of the richest resources filled with personal data of citizens. In turn, representatives of social networks and named online services they categorically refuse to comment on such information. In an interview with Russia Today, Julian Assange stated, " similar programs can be used in different ways by someone for their own purposes, but they all have a special interface that was designed specifically to be used by American intelligence services.
The 39-year-old whistleblower called the American social Facebook network, popular all over the world, "the greatest tool for espionage in history." On the social network, you can find confidential user data that is used by US intelligence agencies. True, the revelations were not so sensational. “Assange is a sick person, it’s a sin to blame him, because the American authorities behave inappropriately towards him. He has no information about Facebook. It’s all conspiracy theories. ", a well-known startup manager and journalist Anton Nosik.

3. Facebook cannot be completely deleted. Since about 2009, once a year, information has begun to spread on FB that an account on this social network cannot be completely deleted, data are provided that the FBI, NSA, etc. took over data from a previously deleted Facebook of some user. Waves of reposts spread, only to disappear later, and reappear next year with new intensity. Journalists from several publications at once understood this issue and found out that there is an option to permanently delete your Facebook page, but it is not easy to find it. For these purposes, it is required to request final destruction account. You will see a warning message stating that it will be impossible to restore your account or retrieve any data posted there. Click "Submit". After that, you don't need to do anything else. The system gives a few days to think in case the user changes his mind. However, you must remember that if you visit your page during this time, you will thereby cancel your request to delete your account.

According to the National Report, at the latest press conference Facebook presented its new plan on the monetization of the social network, and monetization will be achieved through the introduction of a subscription. Officially, this information has not yet been confirmed, but it has not been refuted either, reports Day.Az with reference to Mail.ru. The National Report edition specializes mainly in satirical, frivolous news, so the information may well turn out to be a joke of journalists.

"After thinking about this decision well, in the end, we were forced to introduce a monthly fee," said Mark Zuckerberg(Mark Zuckerberg), founder and CEO of Facebook.

"If we don't do anything about our ever-increasing costs, then Facebook may simply cease to exist in the near future." According to the National Report, Facebook users have to pay subscription fee in the amount of $2.99 ​​per month from November 1 this year for access to the social network.

"This is great news for all Facebook shareholders," said Wall Street analyst Dale Sackrider, according to the National Report. "In August this year, Facebook had 1 billion 317 million users, if at least three-quarters of them pay for Facebook usage, then every month only on maintenance the company will receive three billion dollars. It's not just about earning a small amount, it could be a game changer from the first month onwards."

Paul Horner explained in an interview the reason for introducing the subscription fee:

"Now is a difficult time, advertising on Facebook does not bring in the funds that we originally expected. Against this background, our costs are constantly growing, as hundreds of thousands of people join us every day. There are a lot of photos of cats on the social network, all this adds up to our expenses, we just won't be able to pay the bills soon."

Horner also told reporters about an option for those who can't afford to pay a subscription fee. To do this, write the following text in your status: "I AM POOR FACEBOOK PLEASE WAVE MY MONTHLY FEE" ("Facebook, I'm poor, please don't charge me a monthly fee") and add the hashtag #FacebookMonthlyFee (monthly fee for Facebook). This message will reach the Facebook billing department and they will remove your obligation to pay for the use of the site, according to National Report.

Unfortunately, for all those who refuse the paid version of the site, the games will not be available. However, there is one more option that allows you to use Facebook for free an hour a week, and exceeding this time will cost $0.49 per minute. "I think you'll agree with me that it's important to choose the right plan for you that best fits your Facebook usage model," Paul added.

Despite financial difficulties, the company periodically buys major projects such as the $2 billion Oculus VR, the popular $1 billion mobile social network Instagram, and popular messenger WhatsApp for $19 billion.
