Pretty much any smartphone can easily crop images. This is very likely fake.
You'd think, but the amount of people who "save" pictures on their phones by taking a screenshot that they then don't ever crop, is disturbing.
The amount of people who save images by screenshotting them instead of downloading the image is also disturbing.
I find myself blocked out of downloading images more and more.
And Facebook and messenger saves them in some Limbo where you can never actually locate the files directly.
Stop using Facebook products.
Sure thing! I'll just tell ALL my relatives and literally all my friends to migrate over. Messenger is the de facto messaging platform where I live, so should be easy.
I get it. I have friends who won't use anything, so we're stuck using basic SMS to text message between iOS and Android. It's annoying. I hate the ease at which Facebook rolled out messenger and gained mass appeal. It means that people aren't thinking critically about what they're doing.
Be the change you want to see.
I don't really care about what app I use for messaging until it's one and only one. I don't want to use 6 fucking different apps to communicate with 30 people. As long as everyone is on just one, I'm okay.
I download them when I can, often it doesn't work and I have to screenshot it.
I mean, even if the number was in the hundreds of thousands, I don't really find it all that disturbing.
More like just disappointing.
Depressing evidence of a failing education system.
Tumblr posts are like screenshots from a phone in scroll mode for an entire text book's worth of comments.
