No, Facebook isn't going to make all your private photos public tomorrow

A hoax Facebook status threatening that the company is about to reveal all of your private photos and messages has resurfaced again. The status message, and subsequent variations of it, date back to at least June 2012, and periodically gain traction.

There's absolutely no substance to them.
