"The Russia hoax continues, now it's ads on Facebook. What about the totally biased and dishonest Media coverage in favor of Crooked Hillary?" He later added: "The greatest influence over our election was the Fake News Media 'screaming' for Crooked Hillary Clinton. Next, she was a bad candidate!" Facebook has faced growing pressure from members of Congress to release the content of the ads. The company has...

A new Facebook hoax which has gained popularity this week is scaring some people into thinking they are being stalked. Facebook users are being duped into spreading the myth that a ‘hidden list’ could expose your stalkers. Those followers would be secretly stalking you, your statuses and updates. The rumour says that Facebook would give you the list if you go to your settings, go to blocking and privacy, and type in ‘following me’.

If you’ve been on Facebook over the last couple of days, you’ve probably seen some version of this chain message going around: If you go into your ACCOUNT SETTINGS then to BLOCKING (on left side of screen), then in the BLOCKED USERS search bar type in “following me” without the quotes, you might be startled by who is following you. Unfortunately you have to block them 1 at a time, which is annoying. I had 20 in the list and knew none of them. I blocked all of them. You might share or copy/paste if you found this helpful. Like many things on Facebook, it’s totally false. Yes, if you input “following me” into the search bar you’d otherwise use to block people, a string of seemingly random people will come up. But unlike what the perpetrators of this hoax may want you to think, these accounts don’t belong to some secret network of spies — nor are they part of a grand conspiracy on the part of Facebook. Rather, they’re just the unfortunate victims of a misused search function. They defini...
