The message that Facebook CEO blames Philippines for porn attacks is an ABSURD HOAX and MUST NOT BE REPOSTED. Mark Zuckerberg has made no such statement.
Hoax-Slayer... one of my very helpful Facebook friends, has been debunking email hoaxes and exposing Internet scams since 2003 and has been one great Facebook watcher. Whenever I get suspicious links, I go to his page and verify. Hoax-Slayer published this on his website:
"This message began circulating soon after the November 2011 Facebook porn attack began to subside. According to the message, which presents itself as a statement from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, security experts have now identified the Philippines as the location where the porn attack originated. The message warns that, if the spam attack should continue, then Facebook will have "no choice" but to ban all users in the Philippines from accessing the network.
However, the claims in the message are utter nonsense and should not be reposted. Mark Zuckerberg has made no such statement. Nor has anyone else from Facebook. There are no credible news reports that support the claims in the message in any way whatsoever.
Media reports do indicate that the team dedicated to investigating the attack has identified those responsible but has not yet named them. At the time of writing, Facebook has not stated where in the world the attackers are located. But, even if some or all of these attackers did happen to be in the Philippines, then Facebook would certainly not be so foolish and discriminatory as to ban the entire nation from using their network. The claim is simply ridiculous.
It is so far unclear where this silly rumour originated. Spreading this nonsense will cause unwarranted concern and alarm among Filipino users as well as add to the general confusion and paranoia regarding the recent attack. It may also cause other users to unfairly lay the blame for the porn attack on the Philippines. If you receive this message, please do not repost it. And please take a moment to let the sender know that the message is a hoax."
Thank you, Hoax-Slayer! You're the man!
I agree with Hoax-Slayer that it is all but an exaggeration and Pinoys must not be gullible on these. Facebook is doing everything they can to stop these pornographic attacks. No official statement has been made yet.
Before you even click on one link, please think twice. If you read blogs about Mark Zuckerberg blaming the Philippines for such porn attacks, think twice... thrice... if you have to! Come on! Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg et al, to get everyone in the world, connected... not ban any country. Individuals not abiding to the terms and conditions of Facebook are those served with certain punishments for violation.
Please my fellow Filipinos...
USE YOUR COMMON SENTIDO KUMON! DO NOT OVER REACT! IT IS NOT TRUE THAT FACEBOOK CEO BLAMES PHILIPPINES FOR PORN ATTACKS!
Maraming salamat po! :-)
