Another way to unknowingly end up in Facebook's community pages

If you write anything before a posted link you post on Facebook now what you wrote and posted might end up in Facebook's new community page. I posted this on my profile):

Photobucket

I wrote : " A car carrying an Afghan national police
officer and three teenagers was blasted with machine gun fire by
NATO troops on Monday, allegedly because it came “too close” to a
convoy traveling along a highway in the eastern province of Khost.
All four occupants were killed. " and then attached the link to the story and posted this on my profile.

I have no idea how many Facebook community groups my post magically appeared in but I found at least three :

I'm not saying Facebook is spying on anyone for political reasons but no doubt they ARE spying on us and learning things about us we might not want Facebook to know let alone post as a "related global post". I have my privacy set to everyone to illustrate how posts are being listed as "Related Global Posts" if you have your settings to friends only your posts SHOULD only be visible by your friends in the "Related Posts by friends" section of the community pages.

These community pages are a scary invasion of privacy and most Facebook users are still unaware of their existence. Please share this info with your friends.

  2. It not only happens when you type in your status box. You will end up on a community page if the SUBTEXT under a link has the word, and you say nothing! It's really very scary.
