​Did it ever happen to you when you subscribe to a Facebook application it
asks you for authorization? To be precise, authorization to post on your
wall and sometimes the walls of your friends. Such apps behave like bots[1].
Bots post stuffs automatically and the link (picture or any other media)
you shared must have been shared previously by bots. Facebook thus performs
some sort of test to confirm that you are NOT a bot. A simple test would be
show you an image and ask you what it is. Such a test would be "difficult"
to a simple Internet bot.
Bots are known to be top spammers :-)
