Strange issue with Facebook
First off, I don't have a Facebook account.
I tried to get on to a Facebook 24 auction site and it comes up with this strange language. Indian? .
So I tried the Coq highway report page, same language. .
This only appears with Facebook. And only on my tablet. Not on my phone. I have a PC but it's unhooked.
Is my tablet compromised?

Looks like an Indian (India) language dialect.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.
It appears US voters hated Woke more than they hated Trump.

Could be Hindi from the looks of it.
Shut off your tablet and restart. See if it continues.

Does your browser have one of those auto-translate features? I turn it on sometimes by accident, and that's what it does for me.

No, it doesn't have auto-translate. At least there's no where to turn it on by accident that I know of.Even Steven wrote: ↑Dec 9th, 2023, 7:59 pm Does your browser have one of those auto-translate features? I turn it on sometimes by accident, and that's what it does for me.
This issue with Facebook doesn't appear on Chrome, but does with Samsung Internet.
I seldom go to Facebook so not positive when this issue appeared.

Net says a region issue, maybe caused by a VPN. Strange it's only FB then.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

It sees you when you're sleeping. It knows when you're awake. It knows if you've been bad or good. So quick unplug it!

I've got to dig into the TVs snooping abilities and shut most of them off. I haven't activated the microphone in the remote either. Sheesh, I'm not that lazy that I can't change channels or apps myself.DANSPEED wrote: ↑Dec 11th, 2023, 3:11 amUrban Cowboy wrote: ↑Dec 10th, 2023, 4:40 pmNow we know why they gave that extra hundred bucks off the sale price.![]()

BTW, thinking this might have been a virus in my tablet, I downloaded Avira. No sign of an infection yet.
