The Alefantis Facebook Messenger video is fake and you can verify it yourself very easily. Here is how. (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Throwaway24398021

Earlier, someone posted a link to a video where they reproduce a fake messenger conversation with Alefantis.

Here's the thing. Above the Facebook chat box, there are a few icons. When you message someone on Facebook who isn't your friend, the video and audio icons are greyed out, because you can't video call or audio call people who aren't your friends. The icons look like they look in the "faking" video. In the "verification" video, guess what? The icons are not greyed out. For some reason, he can start a video or audio call with this guy who is not his friend (and clearly has pretty high privacy settings).

Try it out yourself. Open a chat box with a friend and a stranger on Facebook. Notice the difference.

He's edited a chat he had with a friend using the method described in the video. He's taking you for a ride. Don't fall for it.

Nice job, i should have seen this earlier but couldn't watch the video at work. That just about does it, this one is debunked. edit: tested this on my phone, you're actually wrong. Once somebody has accepted your message request you can call them. Even without being friends. Try it. I will post a screebshot when i get to my pc.

You sure? Facebook themselves say otherwise.

Yes check out this screenshot I just took of this dude who was jealous I was speaking to his girlfriend, note it says "you and aaron aren't connected on facebook" because we are not friends. Once I replied to his message I got a notification to tell me 'you accepted aarons message request' and now I am able to phone him.
