Gordie... I think you have been hacked. I received a Facebook message from you referring me to a video. I did not open it.

I received the same. If you click the link it asks for your FB ID and PW -that's a tip off right there that someone is trying to steel FB information.

I'm exceptionally skeptical of Facebook and anything connected to Google due to the way they vacuum up every bit of info they can about you.
Given that, I like the car groups on FB and have a separate free email account I used just for them, and Youtube.

I did get hacked thru Facebook which I have only recently started to use.  If you do get a message from me do not open it.  I got an email from a creep in a foreign country demanding $1,000 to restore my system.  I sent it to Facebook security and never heard back from them.  Be safe!

It's not just faceplant, screwoogle or youblow...it's all of them...

crapple, microsloth...you name it.  They are all free so they can monetize your data to make money, learn about you and, eventually cancel you if you don't adhere to the group think they demand.

Just say no folks  Their only desire is to suck you dry,,,it's not worth it.

This opinion piece is rather illuminating on where we were once, and where we are now as far as social media and the interwebz...
