Facebook Status Updates Misinform About News Feeds

These well-intentioned, albeit erroneous, warnings, like the one pictured above, are going up about once every five seconds as of this writing.

One reader, Rob Hoffman, explained to us in an email why these repostings are incorrect:

When you go to Account -> Edit Friends, it always defaults to “Recently Interacted,” so this looks logical.
However, this is a filter for editing friends – – just as the link indicates – – so it has nothing to do with the news feed.
