'Ignore if u Don't Care' Facebook Donations for Likes Hoax – Hoax-Slayer

Outline

Circulating Facebook message that features an image of an emaciated young man lying on a bed claims that Facebook will donate money to help the man whenever users like, share or comment on his picture. The message claims that the man is suffering from cancer.  

Brief Analysis

The message is a disgusting hoax. Facebook will certainly not donate money to help the man in exchange for liking, sharing or commenting. The hoax is nothing more than a callous attempt to fraudulently promote a particular Facebook Page. The photograph depicts an Algerian man named Mehalli Mokhtar who reportedly has a stomach illness that stops him from digesting food. The same image has been circulating since 2012 and has been used in other hoaxes. Liking, sharing or commenting on this message will help nobody other than the immoral Facebook user who created it.
