The FB/Meta Hoax That Keeps On Giving

Ah, the Facebook/Meta privacy hoax—an enduring classic, like the cockroach of misinformation. No matter how many times it gets debunked, it crawls back onto our feeds, armed with fresh fonts and a sprinkle of legal jargon to lend it faux credibility.

The real comedy? Even the so-called intellectual elite can’t resist the urge to copy-paste it, as if Mark Zuckerberg himself is lurking, trembling at their decisive public declaration: “I DO NOT CONSENT!”

You’d think that by now, the collective IQ of netizens would be high enough to spot a recycled chain post, but alas, critical thinking seems to short-circuit the moment the words “your privacy” appear. It’s not about intelligence; it’s about laziness. A quick fact-check is too much work when you can just share and feel like an activist.

The real irony? These same people will gladly trade their data for a quiz to find out which potato they are.
