FALSE: Grace Poe to file bill blocking Facebook in light of ABS-CBN shutdownHer supposed plan to block Facebook is a rehashed claim that has been debunked as early as 2018. FactCheck weeeeeh!? halos siya gumagamit ng facebook sa panga gampanya noon... tapos iboblock nya lang? sounds so damn....... Huwag ng isali ang topic na hindi importante just focus on ABS CBN franchise.... sayang pinapaload namin sa cable tv. boring ibang channel. Huwag naman ang Facebook! Sa Facebook kasi mura lang ang overseas communication. Chat lang pwede na. Pero kung gagamit kami ng long distance call, umaabot ng mahigit one hundred pesos ang bayad sa bill. Fake/false news comes from a distorted rotting mind.
