So Greta is a fake..............

Facebook Glitch Reveals Greta Thunburg's Father Posting As Teenage Climate Activist

A Thursday evening software update at Facebook accidentally allowed anyone to view exactly who is posting under the accounts of public figures, businesses and other entities, according to Wired. The result? For starters, some 3 million followers of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg have been reading posts written by her father, Svante Thunberg, and a climate activist in India who serves as a delegate at the UN's Climate Change organization, Adarsh Prathap. Thunberg, Inc. claims Greta is still the one writing the content.

Greta, Inc. explained this in a Saturday Facebook post purporting to be the young climate activist. "Some people have been asking who manages this page. First of all, since last spring I only use Facebook to repost what I write on my Twitter and Instagram accounts," reads the post, in which 'she' says she tried Facebook "early on," but didn't like it, so she uses "my father Svantes account to repost content." "The rest that is shared on Facebook is reposted from Twitter and Instagram by the guy who founded the Greta Thunberg Facebook page long before I knew it existed. His name is Adarsh Prathap and he lives in India. Since a lot of people thought it was my official page in the beginning I asked if I could co-manage it and he said yes." Greta claims to have written all the content posted by her father and Prathap. In other words, "of course it's not me silly - you should have known I just 'co-manage' the fan page."

Except - by all outward appearances it appeared to be her page alone. Facebook's 'page transparency' shows Greta as the confirmed owner - with the only clue suggesting she might have help being a page manager located in India.

According to Facebook, the flaw was quickly fixed - but not before the people behind famous accounts were revealed and shared on public forums such as 4chan. "We quickly fixed an issue where someone could see who edited or published a post on behalf of a Page when looking at its edit history," said the company in a statement. "We are grateful to the security researcher who alerted us to this issue."

Facebook says the bug was the result of a code update that it pushed Thursday evening. It's not something most people would have encountered on their own, since it took navigating to a Page, viewing an edit history, and realizing that there shouldn't be a name and profile picture assigned to edits to exploit it. Still, despite the Friday morning fix, screenshots circulated on 4chan, Imgur, and social media appearing to show the accounts behind the official Facebook Pages of the pseudonymous artist Banksy, Russian president Vladimir Putin, former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, the hacking collective Anonymous, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and rapper Snoop Dogg, among others. Facebook points out that no information beyond a name and public profile link were available, but that information isn't supposed to appear in the edit history at all. And for people, say, running anti-regime Pages under a repressive government, making even that much information public is plenty alarming. -Wired

'People who run sensitive Pages from their own Facebook should now consider that their identity may be known," said Lukasz Olejnik independent privacy adviser and Oxford University Center for Technology and Global Affairs. "While mistakes happen, this one is unexpected."

 

Heck, that little Swede is not alone in the fake department. Many people have been saying that she is just a pawn or better yet a puppet.

There are all kinds of fakes out there.

Some are found out and dealt with appropriately, others aren't.

 

Ahem.

 

Captain Louis Renault was quoted as saying- " I'm Shocked ! "

 

Yup, all for the money.

 

Rumor has it, that the person behind Woodwhore's posts here, is actually buZZsaw BRAD!!

 

Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, especially FB!

 

I met Midwinter she knows im a real live hoarder lmao

 

Yep, he's the real deal! Pic for proof...

 

So you mean Greta isn't really a fake????????...................................

 

Is she having Regretas?

 

Nope....................more of a case of "Who's yo Daddy"...........................................

 

No real surprise here; Greta can't hold a conversation on anything. However, she is good at reading a script and acting; both parents are in that field. When pressured Greta's answer is "Uh, uh, would someone else like to answer?"

Journalists used to protect us from fraud, now they promulgate them to make a quick buck

 

It’s a shame that she is being used as she is. I suspect she has Ausperger syndrome or is on the autism spectrum

how many end of world prophecies has you all lived through? I am at five, I think.

 

I’m still using the toilet paper I bought for Y2K! I’m almost wiped out!

 

I see what you did there!
