Outline
Messages circulating on Facebook claim that by entering ‘automation labs’ in the “Block People” search function of Facebook’s privacy settings will reveal a list of people who have access to your Facebook account and should be blocked individually so that they cannot spy on you.
Brief Analysis
This warning is a hoax and should be ignored. Entering the search term ‘automation labs’ as described in the warning will indeed provide a list of Facebook users. However, these people DO NOT have access to your Facebook account and they are NOT spying on you. They are simply users who have names associated with the phrase ‘automation labs’. There is no need for you to block these users.
