    What’s the second worst thing about having older folk on Facebook (after their need to comment on everything, of course)?

    Their inability to Google something before clicking post, share or send, the knee-jerk reaction now leading to another hoax circulating on social media.

    Maybe it’s on your way to your inbox as we speak – this one came my way via a friend in Australia bright and early this morning:

    Sigh – here we go again.

    It’s bollocks, of course, and the Telegraph explain why:

    Well-meaning users are sharing the message widely, but as with most viral Facebook posts, the message is a hoax. There is no evidence of any account with the name Jayden K Smith going on sprees of adding users, and even if there were, they would not be able to hack into an account just by becoming a friend…

    Mass friend requests to unknown users is also against Facebook’s terms and conditions regarding spam, so any such account would probably be quickly dealt with.

    Not ideal for this chap:

    The jokes follow close behind:

    Feel free to ridicule anyone who sends you this message on Facebook, but save your real scorn for those who still, somehow, post about that bloody Rome Statute:

    NO, JUST NO.
