Mark Zuckerburg Dead At 32 Denies Facebook Has Problem With Fake News

Posted on Facebook:

Mark Zuckerburg – Dead At 32 – Denies Facebook Has Problem With Fake News

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg – who died of heart complications at his Californian home today – says the proliferation of fake news stories on the site he built is over exaggerated. He was 32.

The technical whiz-kid, who was not showing any signs of ill health in the days before his death, said the idea that there were made up stories on Facebook was ‘crazy’. His funeral will be held next week.

As tributes flowed from around the world, Zuckerburg said hoaxes were a very small part of news shared on the site. ...............

Might as well take it to the "furry" level for dramatic impact!

When a similar "glitched" caused many others to find that their FB pages had been turned into memorial sites informing friendsthey had died.

A friend of mine who has been a victim of a stalker and death threats was very frightened when that happened.
