Last week on Facebook there was a post made by a local fire department about an accident and road closure. The first comment on the post was from TU Sia that said, “Terrible that this happened!” A link accompanied the comment that LOOKED like it went to YouTube with the caption, “JUST IN: Police release video the incident caught on camera.“
TU Sia’s account, (TU Sia satu minggu yang lalu), is brand spankin’ new and she has ZERO friends. The link actually directed anyone that clicked it through a website in Somalia (kve.so). It’s obviously a fake account with a comment obviously made with nefarious intent.
I reported the comment to Facebook in an attempt to save my local friends.
Facebook said it was a-ok for the masses and if I didn’t like it, I could just ignore it.
The account name translates from Italian meaning “tu sia = you are,” and Indonesian meaning “satu minggu yang lalu = one week ago” in English. So Ms. YouAre OneWeekAgo wants you to believe she has the exclusive video to an incident that happened in Crothersville, Indiana. Facebook wants me to believe they actually REVIEWED the comment. 🙄
Facebook and Instagram (META… along with WhatsApp, etc.) collect all sorts of data on you to share for money. Instagram is topping the “most invasive” chart because it collects and shares 79% of a user’s personal data with 3rd parties.
META wants to control so much of what you’re allowed access to… but evidently they don’t care about your Internet safety.

Naughty or nice?
Meta knows more about if you’ve been naughty or nice than this guy…
