MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The newest hoax about Facebook/Meta is spreading fast among netizens in the Philippines. Many such hoaxes come around at least once or twice a year.

This latest iteration is no different from previous declarations about account holders right to privacy and ownership of their personal data and photos. the only difference is the addition of “Meta,” the new name of Facebook.

As a public service feature, The Adobo Chronicles is issuing this “Just in Case” notice to all those who have been duped by this “Just in Case” hoax.

Our advice: think before you copy, paste and share. Avoid unnecessary embarrassment!
