Copy Paste Zombies
Did you hear? Mark Zuckerberg is giving away his money to 1000 lucky Facebook users. He’s ready to unload 45 billion dollars and you could be one of the lucky ones if you just copy and paste this message yourself!
Isn’t amazing that so many of your Facebook friends still fall for those ridiculous hoaxes and become copy-paste zombies when they see something they think everyone should know.
Part of the problem is that too many people assume that since their friend posted it, the information must be true and safe to repost.
One misguided post can quickly get out of hand when everyone becomes a copy - paste Zombie.
We’ve seen it so many times, we decided to create a fun warning video that we use whenever we see friends and family posting things they didn’t bother to checkout first.
The next time you see someone turning into a copy - paste zombie, feel free to use our fun little video yourself which I’ve posted at DataDoctors.com/radio
