Could they have stolen the story? Yes. But they could have equally had a similar experience, it's not that implausible. I've known people that have nose bleeds like that, it's not some incredibly rare condition, and saying hail Satan is the kind of thing tons of edgy kids/teens would do.
Things can happen more than once.
Facebook doesn't need to spy, the users give it up willingly.
Just curious what's your setup?
Those are laws. If you want a law that bans tipping and assures a higher wage for waiters then sure, that's fine, but boycotting businesses won't get those laws made.
If no one is going there and they don't know why, and they're losing money because they're not getting enough business, they're not going to decide the solution is to start paying their waiters more. That will just cause them to close down sooner.
Also, just as they don't know why people stopped going there unless every single one calls them and makes it clear it's due to tipping/wages, the people protesting aren't going to know even if they do start paying the waiters more.
Almost every waiter I've ever spoken to also prefers tipping because they make more than if they were being paid more, because the business isn't going to pay them as high as they were making in tips (on average).
The only way they even could, is if they raised the price of everything by 25%. As much as people say they'd be fine with that, such high prices would drive some number of people away. There's also the issue that if the business owner realised people would pay that much higher, they'd inevitably keep some for themselves and only somewhat increase server wages.
This isn't to say that I think avoiding tipping is the way to fix it either, just that I don't think it's as clear cut as just avoiding the business.
I'm not in USA but if there are 2 movie style bad guys and 1 says pick me I'll kill strangers, and 2 says pick me I'll kill strangers and your friends and family, maybe you as well, and then some random 3rd guy says, pick me or no one and I won't kill anyone, but one of those 2 bad guys will be picked for you via a coin flip, but at least you get to feel good that you didn't personally pick the death of people, it's not illogical to pick the first one.
Maybe you have such good morals you can pick the 3rd or refuse to pick at the expense of possibly additional people you care about, or maybe you don't personally have anyone in your life that would be affected by the 2nd bad guy so it doesn't matter to you, but if that's the case, you're equally guilty of choosing the choice that makes you feel good just because you don't have to deal with the consequences of your choice and can ignore what's actually happening.

I've been liking searxng. It aggregates results from search engines you select and returns the results without being tracked by them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG
SearXNG is a free and open-source federated metasearch engine forked from Searx. SearXNG supports over 70 different search engines. Similar to Searx, it does not collect information about users.
3rd result using these settings on searxng.
I'd wager the vast majority of people that don't know anything about another person's religion couldn't tell if what they're saying is true or not.
Circumcision, fasting, transubstantiation, without any knowledge or frame of reference there really is no way to tell if someone is just talking out of their ass or not when it comes to religious traditions.
Yeah it's pretty nice, basically every convenience of paid streaming services for free and every movie and TV show in one place.
If you use it I highly recommend the torrentio add on https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure
Or just do what other people breaking the law do and release it entirely anonymously via torrent, once it's out there it's out there.
Don't even have a website or explain anything, just dump it on pirate Bay and let word of mouth do the rest.
