Another hoax message is spreading virally on Facebook. The body of the message instructs users to:

GO TO YOUR FB SETTINGS
GO TO BLOCKING,
TYPE IN FACT CHECK
THEN BLOCK ALL OF THEM

THESE ARE THE FB “BOTS” THAT KEEP REPORTING YOUR POSTS.
I HAD OVER 20.
YOU’RE WELCOME

Sadly, this not true. You can’t report bots by accessing the ‘Blocking’ section of your profile. All you are really doing is searching Facebook for any profiles that have the words ‘Fact Check’ in them.

This is nothing new, as we have seen similar messages in the past. Always double check and ‘FACT CHECK’ these silly messages yourself before spreading and sharing them on Facebook!
