Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about something that’s been making the rounds on social media and, frankly, it’s time to set the record straight. If you know someone who thinks they can “win” shares of Facebook from Mark Zuckerberg, it’s time to have a heart-to-heart. Spoiler alert: it’s a hoax.
Recently, a new trend popped up on Facebook, with users copying and pasting status updates claiming that Zuckerberg is giving away a chunk of his shares. Let’s be real here—this isn’t happening. If you see a post that claims “this is not a hoax,” that’s your cue to steer clear because it’s 100% a hoax. Just saved you some time and effort on that copy-paste action!
This ridiculous trend seems to have emerged around the time Zuckerberg and his partner, Jamie, announced their charitable donations. Shortly thereafter, we saw a flood of these misleading updates. Who started this mess? No one really knows, but even Facebook itself is poking fun at it.
Let’s End the Copy-Paste Madness
While we’re on the topic, can we please put an end to these annoying requests for people to copy and paste posts? It’s like being accosted on the street by someone asking if you have a moment for a good cause. You feel guilty saying no! “Do you have a minute for animal rights?” What do you even say to that? Declining feels like you’re the bad guy.
And let’s be honest—no one is solving any real problems by clicking “like” on a post or sharing a status update. It reminds me of those posts urging you to “like” if you want to save the whales or whatever. Liking something on Facebook doesn’t save anyone. Ignoring it doesn’t make you a bad person; it just means you’re not falling for the trap.
Real Solutions Exist
I definitely don’t need Facebook to magically resolve my issues. I’ve got my “Nigerian prince” email buddy for that, right? If you’re interested in insightful information about artificial insemination and pregnancy, check out this resource from the CDC.

In Summary
Remind your friends that no one is getting rich off these Facebook posts and that it’s all just a gimmick. Let’s keep our social media feeds free from these silly chains and focus on meaningful interactions instead.
