Using social media

Something weird just happened to me.. I wanted to share an article from RT about "El Chapo" on my FB, and all of a sudden this message appeared:

It says: Security control, it looks like the link you want to share is not safe... and then they ask me to select all the pictures with a waterfall in it..

Has it happened to anyone..? It was weird.. I chose the pictures and then i was able to post it on my wall, but why would this message appear..

What you describe is a way that they can tell if you are a human and not a 'bot', like reading a word within a distorted picture.

If it was me I would have closed everything down and run a virus checker across the machine.

Quora is interesting. Very much a hive mind there. There are some good honest answers, generally to be found in the down-voted or moderated posts! Interesting to see how truth is attacked there.
