It's not... make your own one up see how many people will blindly follow it. I made one up about Sydney University once.  |

Because people see it on other profiles and think it will protect them. A lot of people, understandably, don't want the information and pictures that they have on here shared anywhere else and feel protected by a warning of some kind. The truth is that none of these are worth anything or have any basis in legal fact.
The site FAQS state this too. |

We've noticed a legal disclaimer paragraph that some people have on their profiles. Should we have one too? What are they about? Do they do any good?
The "legal disclaimer" is pointless nonsense and all does is take up extra space on our servers. Please remove it if you have it on your profile. If you're worried about privacy please set your account to be hidden from non-registered users on your privacy page (this also hides it from search engines but may take a week or two to drop out of search) and remove the notice (and encourage others to do likewise).
Common sense advice would be NOT to put any information on your profile (here, or on any such site) that could identify you or that you don't want to become public! So for your own benefit, don't post phone numbers, real names or email / instant message addresses on your profile that people might see or "Google".
Some people may put non-identifying pics on their public profile but keep face pics private or for friends, for example.

Legal action will be taken is also a good one!
What? Your going to hire a lawyer to track down the person who stole your pictures, that you placed on a public forum for all to see! Your going to tell the lawyer you took pictures of yourself and then posted them online!
Then the lawyer finds the person after you showing them and their legal the pictures you want them to find! They then have to have a look at your profile to see what it all about! Then take the person to court and you have to give evidence to a judge and jury and in front of a public gallery. Yeah right, get a grip!  |

Yeah it does serve well as a filter, it amuses me how many people don't even seem to have read what they've posted. Ones where the name has been changed that read "Fabswingers is a publicly traded entity" - is it? Where? By who? Do you even know what that means?
I've seen some where they haven't even changed the name of whatever other site they copied it from.
Quite why people think that writing something on their profile magically overrides the T&Cs they agreed to when they signed up or will make the ones who steal pics stop in their tracks and repent, I have no idea... |

The best ones are those that mention Fabswingers in one paragraph and Facebook in the other
This "legal crap" usually takes up the majority of their profile text as they don't know what to put there.
