#22Oh, gosh. What a way to make sure this doesn't succeed. You don't announce ahead of time you are doing something like this. You livestream it for maximum gotcha and shock value, make a tape of it and then have that go viral after you pulled off this wizardry. This is like announcing you plan to break into Fort Knox on X date. Hello?!
Maybe this is a red herring/diversion and the actual attempt will occur at a totally separate time?
True, distracting the public, kind of like the first episode of Black Mirror.

#23This seems like an easy thing for FB to make “undeletable”.
Zuckerberg's profile is already "special." It's known that no one can block his profile, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's other stuff as well. https://qz.com/1066804/facebook-fb-wont-let-you-block-mark-z... That doesn't mean that this guy doesn't know about that or found a way that bypasses those application-level checks. After all, he could always just issue delete statements on the database through some SQL i…
you can block Zuckerberg. I had already blocked Zuckerberg and just blocked Chan to see if I could.

Perhaps this is where the hack is? Maybe he can ONLY hack zucks page due to its unique setup...

#25Yeah, how about he never to intended to livestream it in the first place and just said so to gain attention

#26Stuck at the pop-up page, just no. There are now so many sites where you have to agree with over 300 companies and their terms to track you for ads... How about finding another business model? This is beyond annoying.
They're often filled with dark patterns too. I have to dig about seven pages in to turn of tracking to third parties in some of these popups.
Might be a difference with me being a European visitor though?

Are you sure it's not more like announcing you plan on robbing the local gas station on X date?

I think his account is special in also the sense that he has two usernames: mark and zuck. I don't think any other Facebook account has that.

What if the attacker is already in the system, and using this announcement as a probe for response and as an opportunity to harvest more info?
(ie announce server x is going to get attacked, and stand back while logged into server y and monitor where/who the increased security presence and attention is coming from, and use that to target the next sigint / humint attack)
