Because people are gullable and think if they don't repost it, bad things will happen. Mostly young teenagers.

If it was posted by your friend, please advise him/her not to do it anymore. Tell him/her that it's a factor why our society is thriving hard to advance.

Or if it doesn't work, you may use the blocking feature of your social media account.

Thanks!
