The newest hoax on Facebook- follow me
The newest hoax on Facebook - follow me, has gained so much popularity this week is scaring some people into thinking they are being stalked by unknown people.
Facebook users are being cheated into thinking and spreading the myth that a hidden list could expose who your stalkers are.
It further goes ahead to declare that those followers would be secretly stalking you, your statuses and updates.
The rumor claims that Facebook will give you the list if you go to your ''Settings'' - to ''blocking and privacy'', and type in ''following me''
Realistically, when you type into the search bar, Facebook WILL give you a list of friends, places, etc. So, what you are seeing is actually just a list of people who share some letters with the words ''following'' and ''me''. so, typing ''following me'' into a search bar will simply display a list of other users with “following” or “me” in their names or contact information.
According to Facebook’s Help Center, you go to the right corner and select settings, then click public posts, then select friends or public next to who can follow me to see your genuine followers.
Fortunately, the hoax is just a myth.
