From Huffpost Tech:

No word from Facebook yet, but for now it's just a rumor (but it's going strong). There are no signs Facebook will begin charging for its service, currently 100% free. But some caution the move could even happen in 2012 and 2013.

It's not the first time fears of Facebook charging have emerged. In January 2010, similar rumors went viral, which Facebook dismissed. At the time, a spokesman said: “We have no plans to charge users for Facebook's basic services. Facebook is a free service for its 350 million users.”

Other rumors have spread through the service quickly as well, due to its easy-to-share and viral nature, including that Facebook was shutting down altogether in March 2011.
