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.

Self-proclaimed International Relations Expert and now desperate blogger Sass Rogando Sasot took to her X account to ridicule self-proclaimed political analyst Richard Heydarian to accuse the latter of losing his following.

We can’t compare apples to oranges, so let’s stick to their current numbers on X, and not on other social media platforms.

A quick check shows Sasot with 30K followers on X compared to Heydarian’s 113K.

So who is desperate for attention now?
