Tonight AGAIN

Earlier this week, we witness many fake "Watch Parties" showing up in Facebook Fan Groups.

For example I am a member of the Puddles Pity Party group and twice people had posted "Watch Parities" for the closing of the Impeachment Hearings. Even AFTER it was pointed out that these types of posts did not belong there, the posters refused to self-delete their posts and one even tried to blame FB and claimed that they did not post that "Watch Party"

Tonight someone decided to post the State of the Union on the Rat Pack page.
I flagged the post twice for the administrators I EVEN TAGGED THE POSTER. and stated that if she was a true fan of the Rat Pack she be aware of how Nancy Sinatra feels about Trump.

I wonder in there's a real problem with FB or that People are just basic assholes.

I suggested to the POSTER that she should post her Watch Parties on her own page.

...and each time, the person to whom the watch was attributed said they knew nothing about it, and I believe them.

Is there some kind of bot starting those watch parties in the names of other members?
