It's not all bullshit. Some of the messages they're trying to get across are true. Post nudes of yourself on Facebook and weirdos will come knocking on your door. Not everyone you meet is who they say they are. And so on. But they do go overboard with it, it's to the point where you have people who are afraid to watch videos on any site other than Youtube because they think it would have a virus on it somehow.

Just like how alot of parents whom are older, or are unfamiliar with how the internet works, take everything to be 100% true. And does one of two things.

1, won't visit any sites outside of facebook, youtube, google(to get to the aforementioned sites) and will visit maybe an email site if they don't use gmail. But outside of that -everything- else on the internet is a virus.

2 will buy into every virus and scare ware scam out there, and will have to freeze there bank account, so 500 small fraudulent charges don't start bleeding though.
