NO! The rumor that Facebook is going to start charging a monthly fee because of the new profiles is completely false. The hoax continues to spread by user generated spam; please stop reposting it. Facebook has no need to charge a monthly fee with over $3 billion in annual revenue, of which $1 billion is profit. Their homepage answers the question for all to see if there is any doubt.
The messages making the rounds are:

ReplyDeleteAs they said in the article... Facebook is not going to charge a fee.
ReplyDeleteFacebook makes its money off of selling your information and advertising. If they charged us we would want more rights to our information and they loose money. We would also find other free sites to "get our social on" and they loose money.
