Facebook Glitch Reveals Greta Thunburg's Father Posting As Teenage Climate Activist
Zero Hedge via Instapundit
A Thursday evening software update at Facebook accidentally allowed anyone to view exactly who is posting under the accounts of public figures, businesses and other entities, according to Wired.

The result? For starters, some 3 million followers of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg have been reading posts written by her father, Svante Thunberg, and a climate activist in India who serves as a delegate at the UN's Climate Change organization, Adarsh Prathap. Thunberg, Inc. claims Greta is still the one writing the content.

Greta, Inc. explained this in a Saturday Facebook post purporting to be the young climate activist.

"Some people have been asking who manages this page. First of all, since last spring I only use Facebook to repost what I write on my Twitter and Instagram accounts," reads the post, in which 'she' says she tried Facebook "early on," but didn't like it, so she uses "my father Svantes account to repost content."

"The rest that is shared on Facebook is reposted from Twitter and Instagram by the guy who founded the Greta Thunberg Facebook page long before I knew it existed. His name is Adarsh Prathap and he lives in India. Since a lot of people thought it was my official page in the beginning I asked if I could co-manage it and he said yes."

Greta claims to have written all the content posted by her father and Prathap.

#5 Perfect - proponents of a fake event passing on creating fake information to fool the rubes. That anyone takes these jerkoffs seriously after yet another example of them lying, altering data & making up the rest.

I just want a Greenpeace guy to come up to my door doing some sort of survey so I can kick him in the nuts, then he falls backward and hits all twelve stairs on the way down.

#6 Go out there and scowl a lot, Greta. If you don't, we'll make you study in school.

#9 This all started because the parents were desperate for some interest to keep their little Greta from literally starving herself to death as a response to overwhelming anxiety, as she had been doing. From that perspective, it worked — there are photos of the girl eating. Unfortunately, the interest they found turned out to be a Bengal tiger.

Perhaps later she can transfer her coping mechanism to transgender claims, and then they can raise money to pay for hormones and surgeries instead.

Maybe she will be left all alone sitting on the floor of a train, surrounded by her luggage.....

#16 As obnoxious as she is, this child nonetheless deserves some pity. It's her despicable puppet-master parents who should be horsewhipped.

#18 The child is mentally impaired and emotionally disturbed. Her parents are sick individuals who in a rational world would be facing child abuse charges.

#19 Couple geezers pretending to be a teen girl.

Nothing strange and creepy about that. Imagine the groupies and crushes upon hearing this.
