Clickjacking? What's that?
In this case the user will spot a post on a friend's wall, with a thumbnail and the caption "New Pix". Clicking on this link will lead you to a video, but it will also spread by posting the same link on your own wall, seemingly without your intervention.
So Clickjacking makes things happen without you wanting or sometimes even knowing them to happen. See this for detailed information how this attack works.
In it's current form this sort of attack isn't really dangerous, but the method could lead to more malicious sites than youtube.
So don't click suspicious links on Facebook (well, you shouldn't do that at all, anywhere  )
Safe travel on the interwebs,
