Parents need to be made aware of this Momo thing on Youtube!

So my part of my job is threat intel and I've spent a few hours trying to get to the bottom of this.

It's BS, doesn't exist. Started off as an internet/urban legend a year or two back, took off a little bit with the MSM and social and viral media campaigns. Died down. Fast-forward to now and it's the same shit all over again, the MSM have really latched on this time, social and viral media are in overdrive. It's the in thing. Get your likes, views whatever. Content creators are jumping on the band wagon now scrambling to make 'real momo footage' videos. Even schools and the police have been suckered in and are issuing warnings.

Show me one video or timeline I haven't seen yet that actually shows this 'momo' character trying to convince the user in a series of escalating events to do something dangerous like leaving the gas on or slitting their wrists. I've seen it all. It's fake.

False flag. Go home everyone this'll be old news in 2 days.
