If you have not published this statement at least once, you will tacitly allow the use of elements such as your photographs as well as information contained in your profile
False I'm afraid - similar stuff circulated when it first went public, that didn't make any difference either. Basically when you sign up to a website you accept the T&C, and there's nothing you can then do to change that.
Love you, too
