Facebook Rumor 1 – Hacker

There is a rumor circulating on the internet regarding a hacker on Facebook. Other variations of this has this person(s) as a hacker/pedophile. This is completely untrue. The rumor goes as follows:

PLEASE go to PRIVACY SETTINGS, then click BLOCK LIST and type in AUTOMATION-LOG. If a name pops up, PLEASE BLOCK HIM and PLEEEEEEASE PASS ON!!!

The exact wording varies but the idea is the same: you go to your block list and type in something. When you type a name into a Facebook user field it finds names that are similar to what you've typed in or content from within their profile. Any names that pop up have something to do with the words you're typing in. Typing "automation-log" will find people who have key words in their profile dealing with automation or log. None of the users you see listed have any sort of access to your Facebook account and are NOT able to view anything on your profile that you have marked as private-for-friends-only.

This rumor is the same as the Facebook will make you pay to use it unless you join _____ group, not true.
