Hoax.

There is one horrible threat on Internet that no one ever speak about.

It can lead to our poorest instincts.

It can lead anyone to lose ones self esteem, ones joy of living, ones happiness.

It touches every member of the family.

It can destroy you.

This threat is way beyond what you are told about the "threats on Internet", it is like a time remote bomb, like Hiroshima, like Britney without a pants hanging out with Paris and Nicole, and this threat has a name…

A HOAX.

Let's take a french example.

Bonjour à tous,

Je vous sollicite car une petite fille de 9 mois doit être sauvée. Noélie est atteinte d'une leucémie rare. Le seul moyen pour que cette petite ne décède pas dans moins de 2 mois ; c'est que vous tous vous vous monopolisiez pour trouver un donneur compatible. Ce donneur doit être un homme de moins de 40 ans avec ungroupe sanguin A Négatif. Je vous demande donc de bien vouloir communiquer à un maximum de gens cette information. D'avance merci à tous.

Poor Noélie.

In this example, nothing too terrible.

But.

Who hasn't ever got an email from a potential dictator who begs you to give him money in order to establish a democracy?Who hasn't ever feared the sum of pain that a chain letter you refuse to forward can bring you ?
I have personnaly received many mails from potential dictators in Afrika, who are very politeand who guarantee me a return on investisment if I give him a substantial donation.

Well. Imagine if it were my mom who got this mail.

You know the mothers, they are polite, nice, and they want to helpp democracy, especially when they have a subscription for Telerama.

Well. At this time, she wouldn't be able to afford a coat for the winter.

And she would freeze, alone, whereas a dictator would eat diamonds in the breakfast.

As you saw it, it can be really awfull, and lead everyone to the foolishest acts.
But.

There is one solution.

One website.

One way.

Hoaxbuster.

I hope this will save lives.

I hope every will live in peace in the world, without dirty and filthy jokes on dead people and democracy. I can't stand it anymore.
