The last hoax that I almost fell for was an ad in the Facebook app.

So what?

That’s a nasty communication you chose to receive by installing ad supported software.

It has nothing to do with security or really even computers.

The sense of security is literally the reason why facebook ad hoaxes exist, nothing more.

A claim that "buying Apple makes you safer" makes one less safe, due to perception of extra safety.
