A status post has been floating around on Facebook for weeks that was most likely published out of ignorance.
This warning is about being careful about what you post on Facebook. The reason for this is that Facebook has introduced “live monitoring”. This also involved various Facebook outages. In addition, you should not accept friend requests, because the “live monitors” also have separate profiles. This is the following status contribution:
The message as worded:
To you, please be careful what you post... live monitoring was introduced in FB today... and don't accept any friend requests in the near future... they also have profiles... that's why FB was partly out of date today... there were always outages ...please tell your friends too - This information has just reached me, please pass it on to you
Detailed analysis:
Let's take a closer look at the status post.
Users write: “To you, please be careful what you post... today live monitoring was introduced in FB...”
Here we strongly assume that this live monitoring means Facebook “Live Monitoring”. Facebook announced in spring 2017 that it would hire around 3,000 new employees over the course of the year to work on deleting videos depicting murder, suicide and other violent acts. You can find a number of reports on this topic on Google if you enter the following combination of words: “facebook live monitoring” (Thanks Alex B. for this information).
“and don’t accept any friend requests in the near future…..they have profiles too….”
It is clear that in general you should not accept friend requests from users you do not know or who seem dubious to you. What you can almost certainly rule out is that Facebook is sending out “profiles” to monitor us.
“that's why FB was partly out of date today... there were always outages... please tell your friends too”
That's correct. The above status post has been floating around on Facebook since August 26th, 2017 and on August 26th, 2017 there really was a major outage as far as Facebook was concerned. A Facebook spokesman confirmed the outage on August 26, 2017. “ A technical reason meant that some people had problems accessing Facebook's offers ,” he explained to the German Press Agency. “ We quickly investigated the case and are currently making the service available to all users again .”
Our result:
The status post listed is a falsehood and can be classified as a fake or chain letter.
The claims can be explained with logical connections and a misinterpretation by various users. References:
