in 2011 a new Facebook app became available however this app is secretly not like the rest on the market because when you visit, take this lollipop, you're asked to give permission to your Facebook profile, which is secretly opening a loophole that exposes your private information to the developer who will then play a creepy video that makes you want to delete all of your social media starring a man straight out of nightmares you would have as a child all alone in what appears to be an abandoned building logging into his Facebook account but when you get closer you see that he's actually logged into your Facebook profile examining everything that you have posted viewing your friends and building a parasocial relationship with you and obsessively staring at all of your photos glazing right into the camera lens when somehow things get even creepier and Google Maps appears on the screen slowly your location is ritten out on this creepy man's screen and as he begins to stare down your soul you feel a sense of unease when all of a sudden you see him driving with a photo printed out on the dashboard of you all for him to get out of the car as the screen Fades to Black sure enough this app was briefly removed after its release due to the shock factor and malicious attent of Facebook user data but it came back up after the Creator proved that he wasn't doing anything weird with the information and from there it was radio silent until 9 years later in 2020 the year of the pandemic a new and more interactive version of this app appeared one that makes you think that there's someone in your house but before we get into that in 2011 Facebook had a settle in court with the Federal Trade Commission after it was charged with engaging in unfair and deceptive practices in the way it handled information its users deemed private and it's hilarious to think that this 3-minute video potentially helped expose Facebook for this because according to Epic Facebook would tell users the third party apps they installed would have access only to information that they needed to operate but in reality the apps could access nearly all of users personal data data that apps didn't need and this entire app down to the name is warning you about Internet safety and the implications of sharing personal information even on private social media accounts when it asks for permission it says it needs your profile info birthday location relationship status relationship details your photos friends locations photos shared with you videos shared with you and if you're saying who would still click yes well this active Reddit user says I did and many other people at the time weren't aware of what they were giving to Facebook and their privacy settings even people who knew the gimmick still wanted to try it like denell net who says wow I need to try this later when the site comes back online I wonder if she ever got around to that she hasn't posted in 6 years so I hope you're doing okay danieli if you're out there you can now play the new 2020 version of take the lollipop connecting but this time you have to purchase a $3 ticket to enter what appears to be a chat room you start out waiting for someone to join and then a girl joins and says hello to you hi hi quickly after two more people join above you Sam what's up Sam whoa you can can you hear me yeah mhm yeah mhm I can hear you I can't hear you though hey and according to them they can't hear you but you can still chat with with them by typing into the chat box and what starts off as a normal conversation between almost all of you slowly begins to turn into the unfriended movie and creepy things start to happen oh God I don't know if I can do this guys oh what is happened to that girl right there I just got a text of a picture of me from my webcam how would they have gotten my number oh my god did you like type it in C you believe there's someone in behind you that's so fake super fake that didn't that didn't look fake to me I am out of here see you later okay Sam why are your lights red and then you start to notice something weird happening your webcam and a figure appears behind you I should have made my bed before I join this fall I there's something behind you what is this what is this man right here there something there's nothing here what until the app goes full screen yo why are you full screen yo go back I just there was someone behind me what are you doing yo it's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay sopie it's okay it's okay it's okay Sophie chill out chill out what bro after that beautiful jump scare you're all alone again on the call and your address pops up on the screen okay so it has my info on it um it have my credit card number my location without a second to even process what just happened you're placed into another call okay Hi John new crowd here Tim Lisa what is this and now me Alex who wants to play lollipop disconnecting but this time they use CGI on your lips and I thought it was real it got me shaking like why am I talking right now just kidding this was made in 2020 and this filter is booty cheeks I paid $3 for this when it's the same gimmick you can watch on YouTube oh what the freak is that what the freak is that but at least I got to experience it and give them all my information surprisingly the 2020 version of take the lollipop has seen a lot of success on YouTube getting tens of millions of views for what it's just a 3-minute zoom call turned unfriended you guys also feel like the 2020 version of take this lollipop is awful compared to the 2011 version 2o I've gotten a lot of comments giving praise to the 2011 version someone said I played it once and regret it well I remember it scared the crap out of me not knowing it got my photos from the login but the 2020 version doesn't get the same praise it just feels like a bad horror film more than a social media awareness campaign in 2011 take this lollipop was sort of revolutionary and exposed what could happen if you're not careful with your data on social media platforms a creepy man can stalk you and stare at all your photos and come to where you live by just looking through your profile the only thing they did in this new version was expose my P by credit card and uses Snapchat filter on me they could have at least used this filter on me come on now that would be hilarious if they just turned me into a girl damn wait why do I kind of look hot as a see that would be worth $3 I'm kind of bitter about it costing money not going to lie I could have paid for most of a 4 for four and got him more happiness than this wait wait wait they have all my info I probably shouldn't be talking bad about them please don't come after me I wanted to know more about the protagonist and I found a Q&A that he made for this project but the way that he answers the first question is crazy how did you come to take part in the project take this lollipop it was an acting job and I didn't think I'd get it because I'm ugly I know that I'm ugly am I not yes admit it I frighten you don't I ah sometime I frighten myself but apparently they wanted an ugly person for the job and so they gave it to me he kind of gives off baby girl Vibes but he's definitely still a part of the nightmare blun rotation real talk I feel like a game Studio could create something even more terrifying than this three-minute gimmick a game that connects to all of your soul social media accounts scanning your entire digital footprint and everything connected to you it would be one of the most immersive and terrifying games that displays you as the main character in your hometown there you go that's a free million dollar IDE get it might not be legal but subscribe for more I would like to think that take the lollipop was actually inspired by Hotel 626 an iconic horror game created by Doritos released in 2008 that used your webcam and private information to make a creepy fully interactive point and click game which I made a video going over so cck here to watch that video and if you enjoy this video drop a like And subscribe to make me happy I hope you have a great rest of your day love you goodbye
