Hmmm... Except for the fact that people who don't use Facebook are never going to get the joke...

I don't use Facebook, but I know enough about their half attempt at fact checking to get the reference.

Except for the fact iMessage is well known for its RCEs as well: search for "iMessage RCE" you will find them.

Furthermore (this may not be the case anymore), iMessage is more privileged than other apps and so once exploited an attacker has a far greater reach.

Yup. That's why I don't use iMessage. :)
