I have just tested it with the following procedure:
- Extract some text from a facebook post.
- Put that text in a file (resulting size 1869 bytes)
- Encode a message of 8 bytes on it. Resulting output file size of 1956 bytes.
- Copy the output to a new FB post.
- Extract the text from the new FB post.
- Found that FB removes all added whitespace and the size of the copied text is exactly the initial one: 1869 bytes
So I cannot use it :D
