See what Snopes.com is debunking today. [Web Version]( August 21, 2019 Daily Debunker ‘Privacy Notice’ Hoax Sweeps Instagram If you spend much time on Instagram, you’ve likely encountered a meme saying that a new company rule makes everyone’s Instagram posts and photos “public,” so you need to post a “legal notice” to prevent the platform from sharing your content.

However, as Snopes reporter Alex Kasprak observes, it is nothing more than a long-debunked Facebook hoax retooled for Instagram.
