Nobody seriously believed that we at ZDDK/Mimikama wouldn't discuss April 1st on April 1st, the very day that is the mother of all fakes. That would be something...
But we want to say straight away: No, we didn't pull an April Fool's joke on you today.
We deal with enough pranks all year round, so why bring owls to Athens? The idea of swapping roles with the authors of the postilion on April 1st would certainly not have been particularly well received.
We have thought of something else for you.
We have collected for you all of today's inquiries that were related to April Fools' jokes - at least that we have identified as such.
Just let them affect you.
1) 18 points for everyone: Anonymous hacks points file!
From 18 points you get a bike: According to initial investigations by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), Anonymous activists managed to inject a worm into the IT systems of the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) via an open interface. He then increased the points account of a large majority of the drivers registered there to the maximum value of 18 points before the KBA's IT experts were able to stop the computer malware's activities. Even if you only have a few points on your account in Flensburg, you will soon receive unpleasant mail from the responsible authorities asking you to hand in your driving license.
There's also a nice video about it:

2) Facebook groups are now chargeable
Facebook groups, as described by Facebook, are “where users can connect in groups, share information and collaborate under the title or idea”. While Facebook differentiates between Facebook Groups and Facebook Pages, we see the possibility that the two products will be merged at some point. Groups can be used as an extremely effective marketing tool. Importantly, groups can be used as a tool for building perception/awareness around various topics. In this context, the use of fan pages that were set up with the actual purpose of groups has also been seen. For this reason, we will be charging a monthly fee of €6.99 from May 2014
3) From May onwards it will be expensive for everyone!
4) Facebook: Ban on “cat content”

6) The scanner
Please share!
Not an April Fool's joke! This was presented at the last Facebook conference!
+++ INSIDER NEWS: FACEBOOK TRUTH SCANNER +++
During a private conversation with a Facebook developer friend, I learned privately that Facebook is planning a new function that will significantly change the system:
the so-called.
Facebook Truth Scanner. This means that in the future every contribution will be automatically checked for truthfulness and will only be released for publication if the assessment is positive.
In this way, FB wants to prevent countless false reports from irritating users in the future - and at the same time also significantly reduce the load on the servers. This means that the user himself does not notice the truth check because the processing speed increases.
7) My long-distance bus

There are truly countless other April Fools jokes that were sent across the internet today. These were the ones that arrived with us and weren't too clumsy.
The ZDDK/Mimikama team wishes you a fake-free rest of the evening!
