FACEBOOK USERS ARE being warned about a scam offering a “dislike” button to be added to their account, BBC reports.
Users are tricked into allowing another application access to their profile page. That application then posts spam messages.
No dislike button is actually added to the user’s Facebook page, but a message and link to the app come up on the user’s status.
Users are also lured into filling out a survey which the people behind the scam are being paid for.
Facebook said it has processes in place to quickly remove rogue applications and urged users to get in touch with them if they see anything suspicious on their page.
FIANNA FÁIL HAVE been hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons in recent days, after it emerged that party members voted for their colleagues while they were outside the Dáil chamber.
The Irish Independent reported on Saturday that Fianna Fáil’s Niall Collins had voted for fellow TD Timmy Dooley on six occasions when the latter was outside the chamber.
After telling RTÉ’s This Week programme yesterday that she hadn’t done likewise, Lisa Chambers has admitted to mistakenly voting for Fianna Fáil deputy leader Dara Calleary.
Leader Micheál Martin has asked both Collins and Dooley to step down from the front bench while Fine Gael’s Noel Rock said yesterday he believes the pair breached rules and that the matter requires further investigation.
The Taoiseach, meanwhile, has said he is “not aware” of any government TDs voting for each other in the Dáil.
So, today we’re asking you: Is the Fianna Fáil Dáil voting controversy a big deal?
Poll Results:
Yes it is a big deal (6829)
It's significant but there are other things to worry about (2473)
