Real journalism takes a look at that Huffington Post blog warning you that Facebook Messenger will summon intubation associates who will extract up to a pint of six different bodily fluids. And I, for one, welcome our Facebook overlords.
One blog from the Huffington Post published in December has gone viral, making the rounds on the social network recently because it claims the app gives Facebook “direct control over your mobile device” and allows Facebook to call phone numbers without a user’s intervention and send text messages without confirmation, but none of that is accurate.
In truth, Facebook Messenger isn’t any more invasive than Facebook’s main app — or other similar applications. —New York Post.

Thank you Dennis. You were one of my most tech savvy friends, and I rely on you to help me figure out what is appropriate and not appropriate to download, etc.
So, it sounds like this Facebook messenger isn’t any more dangerous than anything else. Thank you!
