Facebook 'following me' warning is exposed as a hoax

Pretty much all of us use Facebook – with the majority using logging on at least once a day. And although not everyone will admit it, a lot of users enjoy scrolling onto other people’s profiles or ‘following’ them on the social media site to keep up to date with their activities.

But people have been left in a state of panic by a new hoax doing a round – with fears a hidden list could expose your covert ‘followers’ or, in other words, people who have been secretly Facebook stalking you.

According to the rumours, the website will give you a list if you go to the ‘block’ section of the settings and type in ‘following me’.

Unfortunately, this idea is nothing but a ruse - and an old one at that!

Regardless, a message is spreading across the Mark Zuckerberg-owned website - and people are getting frightened.
