title: The Facebook Hoax That Keeps on Trending

text: The message popping up -- perhaps time and time again -- in your Facebook feed has been making the rounds on the social network. It encourages people to copy and paste the text of the message and post it on their own walls if they want to be placed "under protection of copyright laws."

But despite users’ worries that Facebook will own their photos, the truth is that the message, which first appeared in 2012, is just a hoax, and the social networking service doesn't own your media.

title: Ferguson Juror Sues to Talk About Case

text: A member of the Ferguson grand jury that declined to indict a Missouri police officer in the shooting death of Michael Brown contends in a lawsuit filed Monday that the prosecutor in the case has wrongly implied that all 12 jurors believed there was no evidence to support charges, the Associated Press reported today.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of the unnamed juror, who wants to be allowed to talk publicly about the case but could face charges for doing so because of a lifetime gag order, according to the AP. Typically, grand jurors are bound by such gag orders.

But this juror also says he or she came away with the impression that evidence was presented differently than in other cases, with the insinuation that Brown, not Officer Darren Wilson, was the wrongdoer, the AP said.
