She thinks it's amusing, pulling out this story of some youngish guy trying to court her. And we're all like, "oh for #### sakes, mom!"
And there's the people who are pretending to be her friends with fake accounts--whether they themselves were hacked, I don't know. Their DMs always begin with something like "I need a favour....." or "Can you help me with something?
One of my brothers or I routinely have to comb through her social media accounts for her and clean it all up, tighten security settings, delete random people who find themselves on her friends lists.
It's actually quite stressful.

Theres so many things.
First of all, I think Facebook needs a breathalyzer login requirement and thats just for starters.
The thing is, we're all inundated with so much BS that its staggering. People my age have trouble with it because we were essentially the Test Batch, we were around just barely before the Internet and then were the Lab Rats.
And then you've got the other generations.
The people who were born into the Internet Age and the people who existed long before it ever existed.
The former Generation dont know any different, they've been indoctrinated into it and the latter Generations, generally, our Parents, dont have the experience to weed out the BS.
And I've been donating to the SkyNet foundation for years just trying to help put an end to this. Lets be honest...the Terminators are necessary and we should welcome them as overlords. Humanity has had a decent run, time to give someone else a shot.
