We constantly get requests like this one: “When I opened my FB app for the first time this morning, my timeline was full of several other posts for Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Rihanna, Katy Perry, etc. with some questionable and pointless pictures, sometimes even with links to probably even more questionable sites. Yesterday everything was normal. Is this a problem with FB or is it something to do with my account? Are there similar reports from other users? I have attached a few screenshots. Quite often a picture appears with the comment: “Mark Zuckerberg, when he opens Facebook today” Maybe you have an explanation… Kind regards”

Meta Group's other social media platforms, such as Instagram, are unlikely to have this problem, suggesting that this is a Facebook-only glitch.

We ourselves did the test as Mimikama and posted something Cristiano Ronaldo Within seconds it was seen by users we didn't know and it was also being commented on a lot (Link: https://www.facebook.com/Cristiano/posts/653055532847657 )

But also with Robbie Williams (Link: https://www.facebook.com/robbiewilliams/posts/622575632563183 )

The problem is apparently not only limited to German-speaking countries, as the same phenomenon is also reported in other countries! The status posts displayed are posts that other, mostly strangers, Facebook users have posted on the Facebook pages of celebrities.

Complaints about the news stream also increased All Disorders portal

What does Facebook say about this?

Currently, it is August 24th, 2022 / 9:43 a.m., there is no information from Facebook or a statement. We can only assume that it is a bug that messed up FB's algorithms. We don't yet know why so many users suddenly have user posts from celebrities flooded into their timeline.

This article will be continually updated as soon as we have news about it!
