Dislike Button on Facebook? O RLY?

November 8, 2009 at 12:26 PM

So Facebook has tons of fake group and fan pages cause people can’t get enough attention. Most of them I don’t care but this one I feel like writing about. I start to see my friends joining a group called “DISLIKE BUTTON is finally here– Add it now!” I obviously know the group is fake but I go to check it out anyways.

This group has instructions on how to get a dislike button on Facebook. I know it’s not true, but here are the instructions for supposedly getting a button:

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT DO EACH STEP CORRECTLY, THIS WILL NOT WORK.

Step 1: Follow this twitter application http://twitter.com/guinnessrecord

Step 2: Click invite people to join!

Step 3: While you have the invitation page up, copy and Paste this script into your address bar EXACTLY AS IT IS and hit enter:

javascript:var numfriends=document.getElementById(‘friends’).getElementsByTagName(‘li’).length;fs.click(document.getElementById(‘friends’).getElementsByTagName(‘a’)[1].parentNode);for(var i=0; i < numfriends; i++){fs.click(document.getElementById(‘friends’).getElementsByTagName(‘a’)[i].parentNode);}

Step 4: Confirm invitations sent.

Step 5: To finally get the dislike button you must then click here- http://tinyurl.com/fbdislikebutton If that link doesn’t work, make sure you thoroughly completed steps 1-4-5.

HINT: If it didn’t work. You didn’t do it right; repeat steps 1-4.

Lets get into detail:

  • Step 1 is just obviously the user wants more followers on Twitter.
  • Step 2 is getting people to go to the Invite Friends page.
  • Step 3 is just executing JavaScript code in order to have everyone on the Invite Friends page to be selected so users don’t waste their time selecting everyone.
  • Step 4 is sending out the invites to all your friends.
  • Step 5 goes to http://www.facebook.com, how do I know? It’s called http://preview.tinyurl.com/fbdislikebutton

See, just another fake Facebook group wasting my time and I got gullible friends joining this crap.

    Why would facebook allow this to happen? It is obviously a ploy to add people to twitter!! Seems like that would be a rival!

    We should report groups like these. I am tired of seeing groups like this taking advantage of the ignorance of so many people. I am also tired of my stupid friends inviting me to crap like this.

    Wow…I fell for it…so did about 20 of my facebook friends. That was stupid. And a waste of time. 10 minutes of my life just gone out the window.

  5. Hannah says:

    Ooops! I joined this before I realised it was fake. As soon as I got to the second stage I knew that it was bullshit. What a waste of time!

    Any group soliciting anyone or promising anything that doesn’t have a wall for negative/positive feedback is immediately suss
    People still don’t understand the power of the great god google
    Just google the bloody thing. That’s how I found this….
