2. Already on Snopes. It's bogus.

Basically, you entered into a contract with FB the moment you signed up. Regardless of whether or not FB is now a publicly traded company, you can't simply opt out of a contract by posting a notice on your Facebook page.

6. Bogus. See the Snopes link in a previous reply.

On Facebook, you can control who sees your stuff. Just don't allow anyone but friends to see it and turn off all apps and games. Problem solved.

What you release to the public view is fair game for the public, which includes everyone.
