When I interviewed Mark S. Zuckerberg, I immediately thought that he was a charming, polite guy. When he talked, he did so with a typically Midwestern drawl. He has raised a large family and has a massively successful bankruptcy law practice in Indianapolis, and is widely regarded as an expert in his field.

Since the rise of Facebook, and the thrusting of the founder into the public eye, Mark S. Zuckerberg has found him being confused for his socially awkward, sweatshirt donning namesake on a daily basis. Zuckerberg has completely lost his identity. For Mark, getting a Facebook account was by no means a trivial task. The process dragged on so long and was so tedious, he even had to go as far as to threaten legal action. He thought that he was done.

The summer ofMark Zuckerberg found his Facebook account deactivated with no explanation. And if you get a message on Facebook, it sends it to your regular email account. I tried to log into my Facebook account, and it was deactivated because it said I was an imposter.

Mark, however, had a trick up his sleeve. He happened to share an office building with a major local paper, the Indianapolis Star. And soon enough, every single news station in the city was outside my office. Then it went on all the national news websites, and then it went international. And then I was being interviewed all around the country. I asked Mark if he felt isolated and disconnected in those three days he was banned from Facebook. I only really use it to keep track of my kids.

Fortunately for Mark, his usage of Facebook was so confined to surveiling his children that the impact of being banned on Facebook was limited. Every year, ordinary people find that their social media presence completely excised.

The role of social networking and social media in our society is so significant that being exiled from it is sort of like when Romeo was banished to Mantua.

Users who have been banned have to endure being isolated from significant events in the lives of their loved ones. They miss out on baby photos. Facebook is particularly infamous for not being forthright with the reasoning behind why they deactivate accounts besides vague statements about policies and terms being breached. When researching this story, I spoke to people who had the sheer misfortune to find themselves on the wrong side of Facebook.

They told me of the feelings of isolation they felt when they found their accounts deactivated. They told me of what it felt like to suddenly become undesirable in the eyes of this social networking behemoth, and find themselves losing old friends.

For his day job, he writes code that manages the administration of charities and maintains the websites of the Bodlean Library at Oxford University. He is a trustee of an LGBT helpline charity, where he is also a listener. He also has a rather unusual last name. Eventually, I suggested that we consider a single letter surname, because that cuts down the choices to just Dan sent us the image above in a smaller size, having posted it on his website claiming this is what he saw on Facebook when he was banned.

The visible BR tags make the image seem less than authentic, but this is what Dan says he saw. Around Novemberfour years after changing his surname by deed poll, he found that his Facebook account had been disabled.

My ex- and I both updated our Facebook profiles on the day that we wrote out our deeds poll. Hers went through faster, and I wrote an email to Facebook to ask them to hurry up and process it faster. Facebook are not particularly renowned for their transparency when it comes to enforcing perceived infractions of their terms of service.

And man, were they SLOW! It took several weeks to regain access to my account, navigating the maze of different each time I tried to log in, it seems forms.

I uploaded a scan of my driving license, and then later my passport, and each time I received a useless email back from Facebook staff. Eventually, after much harassment, they re-enabled my account. Because people assumed that I was there. It was frustrating and alarming to feel that one company on the other side of the world had such power over my social life. I still miss the convenience of being able to pounce people on Facebook Chat during the workday.

Amber Not her real name is a something from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. She has spent the past five years working in social media consultancy for large international organizations and agencies, helping clients create, manage and understand their social media presence.

She is a self-professed geek, cat owner and roller derby obsessive and has spent the past 15 years or so curating friendships and relationships through the Internet. Many of these friendships are especially far-flung ones, with people living as far afield as North America, South-East Asia and Europe. Amber joined Facebook in when the site was still very much in its infancy. Upon becoming a member, she found that it was a nice, centralized repository for all of her friendships where everyone was easily reachable.

She also spent a significant amount of time playing Facebook games where she accumulated points and high scores. I developed a couple of really good friends out of that. Over time I did add more RL real life friends and came to rely on it as a way to communicate with them. In lateAmber tried to log on to her Facebook account. Upon doing so, she discovered that it had been suspended and she was unable to access her account. I was locked out of the account with no prior warning or information to rectify the situation.

With her account disabled and with no way of restoring it, she found herself disconnected from her friends and family.

The decision to deactivate her Facebook account had serious implications for her professional life too. As someone who has built a career in social media, having her Facebook account arbitrarily and summarily deleted was nothing short of catastrophic. I asked Amber about the impact being banned from Facebook had on her professional career. I was contracting at the time with a massive global company who I had set up their first pilot page on Facebook.

Nobody else could access that page. It had to be abandoned.

That risked both my reputation and that of the organization. In addition to that I was admin of many other pages from my previous job the business unfortunately closed down — as most of those already had alternate admins and I was in the process of handing them over fully, they disappeared for a while but apparently Facebook had the good sense to reinstate them.

Shortly after discovering that her account had been deactivated, she simply opened a new account. One thing that is immediately apparent when talking to her is the depth of her distrust for Facebook. Despite reactivating an account under a pseudonym, she no longer obsessively plays Facebook games like she used to and she no longer purchases virtual currency.

I asked Amber if she was ever able to access her original account. I then asked her if she feels upset about what happened, and how she feels about Facebook in the years since, she had this to say. I lost a lot of longtime old friends. There were some folks I had been in touch with online for ten years, but our old forums sort of died out with the advent of Facebook, so we migrated to being friends there.

When I lost the old account, I lost friends. I think of them often.

In some respects, you can understand why Facebook often makes such massive errors. It has a user base of over five hundred million and only five thousand employees. Its biggest rival, Twitter, has only a quarter of a billion users. As a result, you can almost understand why they make mistakes. It must be hard policing a community of half a billion.

You can almost forgive their tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. With that said, though, there is some serious room for improvement when it comes to how Facebook handles suspected perceived breaches of their terms of service.

When speaking to Mark and Dan, I noticed that Facebook were prepared to suspend their account despite having personally spoken to representatives of Facebook and provided them with information pertaining to their true identity. As a result of having gone to such efforts, they really should never have been in the position of having their Facebook account deleted. In spite of having their accounts deleted, both Dan and Amber were able to open new ones with minimal fuss.

Mark and Dan were told that their accounts were suspended for suspected false identities. In the case of Mark, it was as a result of sharing a name with the founder of Facebook, and in the case of Dan, his account was suspended on the basis of having a last name that is shared with only one other person.

However, Amber still has no idea why her account was removed. If Facebook is prepared to enforce its terms of service, it should be prepared to inform people with no ambiguity of their suspected offence. The one thing that stuck out for me when speaking to Amber was how catastrophic being removed from Facebook could be. Her suspension almost derailed a social media campaign for a large, multinational company. It resulted in her losing some of her oldest friends. It resulted in a loss of trust in an institution which almost all of us use to handle our social interactions.

We reached out to Facebook and asked them to comment on this story. When asked how they identify breaches of their terms of service, they said. They also said that their policies for dealing with people who breach their TOS depend on the particular rule broken. For example if a photo breaks our nudity guidelines we would remove it and let the person who posted it know. If someone is using Facebook under a false identity then we remove the profile.

Your email address will not be published. The thing is when you don't want to use your real name cause your crazy ex gf is stalking you and sending messages to every girl you have on your fb or at least the ones she can see, it was a repeat process of creating an account with a fake name and then fb disabling my account until they decided to ban my ip, the thing is fb was a very practical way to be in touch with my family back home.

I opened a Facebook account for no other reason than a relative wanted me to look at the photos on their page. I have no desire to actually join Facebook, and not about to give them my personal info, so I used a temp. Email service to open a Facebook account under my cat's name. Facebook banned the account the next day. I appealed and they told me I would have to supply them with a photo of myself to get the account reopened.

I don't take selfies or post pics of myself on the Internet, and wasn't about to for Facebook! The Walking Dead was on TV at the time, so I held up my cell phone up to the screen, snapped a photo of Ezekiel, and sent that to Facebook instead -- and they promptly unbanned my account! Maybe they just like dreds. Bullshit facebook baned me all the time and will not show the post i got banned for so i try to post things to see what the trigger is seems that if they dont like you the ban you aka bully on the playground.

Facebook told me I was blocked for three days because I called a troublemaker troll "stupid". The block was imposed in early September Well January 6 and I'm STILL blocked! I opened another FB account, went back on the wall where the trouble occurred, and noticed a couple of people sexually harassing someone.

When I reported them the FB I received a notification from FB that their comments 'don't violate community guidelines" and that no further action would be taken. Funny how FB allows sexual harassment on its site but calling an internet bully "stupid" is a FB crime! Zuckerberg is a MORON!! Facebook's "moderator" staff is loaded with people who play fast and loose with the rules based on their own social, religious, and political biases, and take advantage of the fact that it's next to impossible for users to appeal a decision.

FB is legally NOT entitled to SS information, as they are not employers or employees of their users. Shouldn't the Federal government be prosecuting fb? Requesting this information AFTER signing people up and letting them use the service unobstructed, sometimes for years, RANDOMLY, is extortion, is it not? This FOR-PROFIT COMPANY is executing a phishing scam. Who is fb to question the names we have been given, or chosen? I had one fb friend native American who owned property and businesses in his name, and was STILL rejected.

Again, shouldn't the Federal government be prosecuting this institution holding accounts hostage AFTER the fact? I also lost connection to friends and family after being blocked from fb without warning. Eventually REAL friends asked me why I blocked them, cuing me in to the problem from their end. So I made sure to let my friends know what happened. Make a list of your fb friends somewhere else, fast!

Does this leave me grounds to sue for defamation of character? Fb damaged MY reputation. Being blocked left me more free time to pursue other activities, but eventually I submitted the id they listed as acceptable. Fb rejected the ids and ASKED FOR MORE, denying access again. At least in the few hours between submission and re-blocking, I was able to log in and inform contacts that fb had blocked me, rather than me rejecting my friends.

FB is NOT entitled to our legal IDs. All we have to do to stop this nonsense is exile fb - turn your back on them. No users, no income.

I'm checking my investments as well to make sure no Funds have FB stock. Those that do will get a letter from me - drop FB or I'll sell.

Why suffer the nonsense and discrimination? I moved on to other sites. Just search fb competitors, you'll find plenty! How about NOT "policing" the site at all? There really isn't a need to restrict free speech. Any idea what is going on? Facebook Page been unpublished by Facebook.

Appeal status success with the help from Facebook Team. Received email mention page is Published. Here is the problem now, Cant access and see my page. Try reset Apps and Browser not helping. Reported to Facebook not solution no feed back not responsed. I have recently been locked out of my facebook account for using my artist pseudonym.

Everybody in my life knows me by this pseudonym. It appears the only way I can get back into my account is to provide copies of my personal identification, which I refuse to do. Now I'm done with facebook as this is the final straw in the privacy department.

I've attempted to contact facebook regarding the issue but, to contact them via the regular channels, you need to be able to log in. I have found some general email addresses in order to email facebook staff without having to be logged in, and I am currently waiting for a response.

While it is truly a kick in the teeth for me as, like most artists and freelancers and self-employed people, I rely on the social network for business, promotion, and opportunities—I am not going to give them copies of my identification just to use their service.

And I am not going to give up using the pseudonym that everyone knows me by to cater to their constantly changing terms of service. Honestly, we're all probably better off without facebook. I wrote about all of this on my blog: How can I get a hold of someone from Facebook if I can't log in??? I've been banned for using a fictitious name, which it totally was, I'll admit, because there are certain people I NEVER want to find me, but I wanted to be involved in what's going on in my community and the world.

So now I can't even get on to deactivate my account!!! Seems to me that some parts of a person's Facebook account should be protected under Copyright laws. Deleting an account constitutes destruction of copyrighted material. Facebook could be liable to pay damages for that. I assume that the ToS do not allow Facebook to delete or prevent access to copyrighted materials. Probably, there are other State, Federal etc.

Somebody should check if deleting accounts is legal. It is hard to believe that Facebook does not have the contents backed up. If they are made to pay damages for "losing" users' contents, then I'm sure that we will discover that they do have backups.

My Personal Account was Disabled — out of the blue 9 yrs saying I come funzionano le stock options a fake person????

Already heard people are quitting buying shares on frankfurt stock exchange Your account was disabled for not following the Facebook Terms. Facebook requires everyone to list their authentic name on their account. Fake accounts and accounts created to impersonate someone or something else are not allowed. Make sure to attach a valid ID to your report. You can learn more about what types of IDs we accept in the Help Center:.

My Personal Account was Disabled - Michael Ladd Inbox. Your account was disabled Facebook requires everyone to list their authentic name on their account. But the shurely prevented to add some people that were some steps near… Nice business! And when you just try to read comments and all of the "parts" wich are beyond the walls of Facebook and find yourself that your IP has been banned from those well mean people from facebook? The thing to think is how long are the arms of FB that they prevent you from anything that their extensions are allowed from FB itself.

You don't need a FB account to read commentaries in a page that uses that mode but you are prevented to see them if you are banned. To let go an account there is so much about it you must break every rule to effectively be OUT stocks trading above 200 ma FB and the shorter one might take MONTHS as my own account Posting nudes, harrassing, etc.

Now it seems that they do as they please. I've been banned from Facebook for 6months. I don't know the reason. Can't find out the reason. I'm just small town person, the only reason I am on Facebook is to socialize with family and friends far and near.

Honestly, the whole argument that "people lose out on invitations, baby pictures, keeping track of loved ones, etc. Don't these people have phones?

Haven't these people ever heard of Skype or Google Hangout? Makes you wonder if these people even know anything exists other than Facebook. Last time I checked, I could send pictures, texts, phone calls, email invitations largely for the cost of a normal phone bill which most people probably pay for these days. The only thing I could reasonably understand having one is if your job is social media management.

All I can say is, I've done fine without a to me largely worthless Facebook account. To my knowledge, Facebook still doesn't allow custom HTML backgrounds which MySpace did.

Makes you wonder how MySpace ever went dead in the eyes of a largely second rate service. I believe you neglect that on Facebook you don't send your invitations or pictures or updates to individuals.

You post them to your community. And your community consists of everyone who wants to be part of it and you approve of - your Facebook friends. I'm sure people using Facebook still connect using all the tools you have mentioned above. I even meet my friends and family in real life!

When a company declares cash dividends retained earnings is reduced. true or false, unlike my capacity to make new friends and appreciate people, my time is limited. I cannot connect with everyone who is important in my life one-on-one all the time.

But I also don't want to let go of amazing people. It gives me joy to read or see what is going on in their life. And I will reach out to them if they are having a tough forex trading clearing houses or celebrate their achievements with them.

I think being able to connect with so many people is what makes the Internet amazing. And because many people feel like I do, it has simply become normal for people to use community tools like Facebook to share their news, rather than to tell everyone individually.

Keep in mind that the world is changing. People move for jobs, they even move to foreign countries, and they end up having investopedia stock broker and family all over the world. In the past this meant heartache because ties to your friends and family were cut. Today, that heartache is softened by the ability to at least feel part of your community of family and friends, even if from far away.

Services like Facebook have filled a gap that has been torn open by globalization. Sure, you can still call people, send letters or individual emails with photos etc. In the end, not everyone will do it, not because they don't like you, but because they have limited time. Facebook makes it easy to share and keep your community in the loop. Now if someone gets locked out of Facebook, they get locked out of that community.

I can see that this is not your world and apparently you cannot relate to how it is to live this way. But maybe you can at least acknowledge that the world is changing and that people are changing and that not everything is changing for the worse. Last I checked, Facebook was just as time consuming to update considering how much the average user spends time on it and the numerous stories of people wasting work time on it and manage.

And posting on the wall is the same as mass texting and mass emailing. Everyone who knows you that hasn't disabled Facebook notifications will get an update on lyric maker money shake posts, including people you don't really want seeing them by just 777 binary option affiliate network your Facebook page.

Not only that, in that entire response you neglected to mention the video chat services that I had mentioned. Google Hangout and Skype allow for multiple participants and are easily superior to what Facebook offers. One can also simply group chat with friends. That technology has been around for ages and you don't have to schedule anything, just talk to them when they're online.

Its a lot more personal and social communicating face to face than to wait several minutes between replies and wall barrages where things can easily get lost in translation. And if you want an example of emailing, I tutored a kid in the UAE entirely through email and chat services. It was great and there was no difference to PMing each other on Facebook or other social service.

I didn't have to go to multiple sites either, I chatted and emailed all in the same client software. One could make an argument that its easier to connect with other, mostly random people, on Facebook. However, out of those several hundred friends, how many do you really keep up with? How many do you actually know? How many of those peoples lives are even remotely relevant to you anymore?

How much time would it take for you to check these peoples profiles that you don't really stay in touch with anymore? People need to start distinguishing real relationships from Facebook ones.

The thing with using alternatives services is you have much more control over who receives the material and who doesn't yes, that all important privacy aspect. Not only that, you're not banned for ridiculous things like having a celebrity name or an uncommon name with no real recourse other than starting over.

The necessity of Facebook as an argument is incredibly weak and is really no different other than the ease of connection which people abuse on a routine basis by simply stock market crash of 1929 pictures accepting invites from random people.

The only other argument is work related PR. You would think in this more technologically integrated world, people would have their own websites using a website creation service which offers much more features including custom layouts than Forex nawigator biz forum. I never got the point of conforming to everyone else, especially on such a subpar service.

I guess I can just chalk that up to technological ignorance and laziness, which in some instances I'm guilty of. I use facebook to draw people call it spamming to the website for my small business. When an account is deactivated I simply eur usd chart forex pros another one. My friends I keep in touch with through other means. Facebook needs to improve their banning system. They should at least tell the people why their banned.

Facebook needs to look in to its policies If God forbid some day Facebook finds something not to their liking they will deactivate my account!. I have to report a negative aspect to Facebook to your readers. There are a multitude of child porn sites on FB. How do I know? I have SEEN them! I contacted via the "reporting" system and the automated response I received was: After reviewing your report, we were not able to confirm that the specific page you reported violates Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.

Be prepared to be shocked as I was. Yet, a man who has a last name of "Q: Something is seriously wrong at FB and I suspect the reason they refuse to deal with the child porn has to do capm indian stock market tips free on mobile money.

I don't know but help these children and speak up for them!

Having a really hard time getting that any of these people have suffered any real losses. The tragedy quotient just isn't there, in spite of the author's attempt to dramatize their circumstances Reality check - if you "lose friends" because you're locked out of your FB account, you should probably question the value of the friendship.

If you're a social media professional who sets up an entire media campaign under your personal FB account, you're begging for disaster in more ways than we've got time to examine.

FB is just one of a world of ways to nurture relationships. When you can't use FB you still have email, the phone, the regular mail, person-to-person, Skype, Twitter, and many other communication tools at your disposal.

The loss of FB does NOT prevent you from watching your nieces and nephews forex training centres in nigeria up, for heaven's sake! I enjoyed reading every bit of this article. The power of social media and the people behind it is so huge right now. I had my account deactivated once but it was restored citing that it was technical issue. But I guess I could live my life without it.

I was gonna say something else, but then I thought better of it, I wouldn't want FB to get weary and suspend my account If you have a business, then create an online identity for that business: If you are a natural person, rather than merely a legal person, which in most common law jurisdictions includes a corporation, then create an online identity for that person following the same approach as for your business.

If you have more than one business, create a separate profile for each business. Even if you do not run your own business, never forget Rule 1. Create a professional profile that is completely separate from your personal profile. Never use your professional profile for personal stuff and vice versa. To protect your privacy, create a separate profile for each of your online presences for when you engage stock market witching hour public discourse on the Internet.

Again, see Rule 1. If you fail to follow Rules at all times, then sooner or later you will be very sorry. Words cannot express how much I hate Facebook and wish very ill things to happen to the people who own and operate it.

I've had my account banned numerous times for dell online stock trading computer most ludicrously stupid reasons like sharing content too much within a short time frame, for profitable trading strategy to binary optionsand yet I putin stops american adoptions porn pages galore that rarely, if ever, get even so much as a slap on the wrist.

Are you kidding me?! That site is worse than MySpace, MyYearbook and all the others combined. Screw you, Facebook, screw you hard and with many different sizes and shapes of razor-blade-covered objects. I suspect in the not to near future Facebook is going to shoot itself in the foot. The stance that it is free by virtue of USING people as a commodity while creatively resourceful it is alarming. Information being shifted and altered and shared between paying clients order driven stock market staggering.

Facebook is big enough that is can actually charge for the service if it actually provided protections against the very people who are paying Facebook right now. Amber should have had a couple "extra" dummy accounts and added them as admins to whatever projects she was doing.

So long as the information is relatively unremarkable, there's no reason the drones at Assbook And if FB does do something facetious or irresponsible, at least she might have has some form of recourse. The only reason FB exists is to make a few someones rich. If it were truly a "social" media effort, they would have adequate staff and resources to actually help their users have the best experience.

And just like any other resource where "cloud" computing is concerned, BACK UP YOUR DATA. That includes friends' names and information, images, whatever. Don't depend on an organization to whom you are a tiny little pimple - er - cog in it's giant clockworks to ensure that your data is protected or private. Perhaps 6 or 7 years ago, I joined FB at the request of our local City Futures trading brokerages. I was not aware of the nature of FB at the time, but did so to allow her to contact me, as well as her other supporters.

I then got requests from people I didn't know, didn't want to know, and who were obviously just collecting 'friends! I therefore decided to screw up the account so it would just be useless trash taking up their file space, and I used Google Translator to switch the little that was left into Chinese! After that, I occasionally got emails in Chinese, asking me to be a friend - well I used GT to see what they said When I learned about a year or so ago, that it was now possible to close my account, I did so, and waited the six weeks to check.

I couldn't access it any more Perhaps we should all now seek accounts using the name Mark Zuckerberg, and invite all of our friends to do so, and ask them to ask their friends to do the same?

Fatura Unicard Segunda Via Online

I can't access my friends pr their photos now. I use my email address to search for additional friends, only to receive a message reply that my email is either too spammy, or my password is incorrect, yet this is the very same email address shown AND password when I log into FB. A very dysfunctional web site with a boatload of arrogance emanating from it!!! Recent online news articles have stated that FB has been WARNED by the US Federal Communications Commission, aka F.

Also, they allow too much porno photos posted on their site, especlally from countries such as Turkey, India and Pakistan!!! This article demonstrates why I dumped my fb account. Intrusive, prone to unprincipled sanctions, shoot-first-and-question-later sanctions Snears, Best Boy, Office Despot, all of which, coincidentally, seem to be lagging lately.

Google sends me a birthday wish each year. If you want to know who is accessing your info, this one works. Also, it's easy to remember. Your'e welcome Why anyone would give up enough info malcolm stock contract options accomodate ID theft puzzles me.

I have a friend who has been summarily tossed off Facebook twice, not because he used bad language or because of nude pictures, no, it was because his popular page was admittedly a haven for discussion of freethinking concerns. Some militant religious viewers who happened upon the page would "flag" it.

I guess they thought searchers should find their deity without any of that opposing opinion stuff. It always gives me a chuckle when I think of the minions stamping out all naysayers so their all powerful deity does not have hurt feelings. From my experiences some moderators are tinpot dictators, incompetent bullies who make their caprices decisions depending on what their mood is that day, what they ate for lunch or how much it will impress their supervisor.

There are millions of FB users and the wronged are few and haven't made a big enough stink yet. Five years after I deleted my genuine FB account I set up an alias email over the internet - it was literally an invented name with zero identification as to strategies 3 minute binary options trading actual self.

Earn myyearbook lunch money even had a new computer at that point, and I lived in a different town by then, so my IP address had changed. Yet lo and behold, several weeks zee news stock market I received, through my new email alias address, an email from FB, asking if I knew the following persons.

The scary thing about it was that I DID know those persons. Somehow FB still knew who I was, even after me moving locations and purchasing a new computer, both of which were innocent acts on my part, and even after me setting up an alias email address which wasn't innocent, as I did it on purpose. FB do scary things with their software, and they don't declare these things to the public, they do them behind the scenes, in secret, for their own benefit.

Lots of scary things. A young nephew of mine, who five years ago was only 8 years old when I deleted my original FB account, and who then did not even know of FB, well he recently joined FB now being a teenager and what do you know, FB emailed me, again on my new email alias address, and asked if I knew this person as they thought I would do. There is no way that link, between the alias me and my nephew, could or should have been made, yet FB knew FB do VERY scary stuff.

Facebook cancelled my account I sent the response message, got a vague and meaningless reply, so I just decided that Facebook sucks and moved on. Wouldn't use it now for anything. I am only bothered by the loss with family members that continue to use it nearly exclusively for communicating with friends and family, leaving me and others out. But those people have chosen to use a communication method that leaves some of us out so I guess we're not that close anyhow.

Most useless article I've unfortunately read in a while. The author is greatly over exaggerating nonsense life the ten o'clock news to hook people into reading an extremely boring subject with boring content.

Whole article should've been told in a paragraph, rather than a multi-page one. They've taken one adult who didn't post on Facebook at all, who was so distraught he couldn't create a Facebook account using his real name he "almost" threatened legal action.

Because dear lord, a free to use public website won't let me create an account with my name! Second person, oh my god, he was just distraught because his login was disabled but not his account and he missed the party of the year that was being thrown by his best friend and only talks to him via Facebook!

I mean what kind of good friend would invite me to a party over an email or the phone? He was so shaken by this, that it admittedly didn't effect him in any other aspect of life and he quit Facebook later with no consequences. Finally, we have the most catastrophic story for last. The unfortunate virtual farm ville tycoon lost millions thanks to Facebook. She lost such old and dear friends, because she didn't even know their names! Facebook erased her memory when they canceled her account.

Oh and the most ghastly part of all, her entire reputation was centered around her fb profile and her professional life was ruined, because a resume and previous work experience just don't cut it anymore. Forgive all the sarcasm please, just irritated I actually read this article because make use of. Am I the only one that thought it odd that this lawyer, besides sharing the Zuckerberg name looks eerily like and older version of the young billionaire?

Your response looks like about the way I would react on the featured article on first reading. But on second thought the article did have some underhanded way of fighting back if you find yourself in the shoes of the three people. Make other accounts on fb and on other social sites. Although building up connections would be a hassle, still it would be an advantage to have the accounts and not need them, rather than to need them and not have them. If you work in social media, then yes, having your account deleted could put a serious hamper on your job performance, especially if its so difficult to get it back.

Also, if you're running a service that is suppose to be accessible to everyone, you better have some sort of system that allows you to use the service if your name is similar to a celebrity or is an oddity. You shouldn't have to submit loads of personal identification to get an account back when someone can just look at your account and obviously see you're not the "real" Mark Zuckerberg before banning you. There should be more substantial evidence needed before a service can just outright ban you.

To think it wouldn't effect anyone losing a substantial amount of relevant information i. I mean, one could make the same argument about Gmail. Gmail is free, do you think people shouldn't complain about losing their account and all the emails along with it if they're outright banned for no conceivable reason?

Facebook is a convenient way for me to keep up with my children, children-in-law and grandchildren, but I can do the same thing without it!. This article caused me to strongly consider cancelling my account. It also makes me feel sorry for all of those millions of people who have no lives and need to convince themselves that they are "social-butterflies" by having a trillion "friends" on FB.

This certainly made me rethink the importance of social media in my own personal life. I have a large family with 6 children 17 grandchildren, aunts, uncles, father,sisters, brother etc. They are all on Facebook and my photo sharing is primarily done with my Facebook account. I am now trying to decide whether or not to resurrect my FB page I used as an advocate for people with Multiple Sclerosis.

I took a break for a few months but I maybe I should leave it alone. I don't have ANY social network memberships.

I use email, which is insecure enough, thank you very much. I suggest you use email, too and leave the g. I've had an irrelevant account create a page under my pseudonym and they still refuse to give a memorandum, or even a notice to those acting the infraction illegitimately.

Blatant disregard on part of the "Occupy" pages proclaiming they are the "official" page, which goes directly against their terms of services and agreement of use. Yeah, some people read them. It seems to me that "Face Book" is a divided corporation, into secular markets, " this market has X amount of control in Y ".

Legally, the Temple Bar runs all corporations of America, considering America is just a British Plantation. It the title sounds dreamy. Where do I sign up? Press this little blue 'F' icon with a strategically placed finger? As for me I have decided to not let fb play a huge part of my social life. I have closed it for a few months and only opened it a few weeks ago.

I am trying as much as possible not to let fb a mandatory line in my life! Thanks for this great article! Damn, After Reading this post, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't even checked to see if my facebook account was deleted.

Logged in and checked and it doesn't go through! I just hope it has been deleted and not deactivated! Well besides all the bickering, the people have to remember that they have to Read the Privacy Policy, etc. When a site says whatever data you post belongs to them, I defo think you ought to think twice! The whole Bait and Switch is a real 8! I mean I am sure many people on Fakebook will not know that all msgs, IMs and IP logs are kept with them.

Along with a very shady Facial Recognition Data! Otherwise, I don't understand HOW can so many people so openly give up what they probably should not! It's not like there weren't other methods for communication or other sites like this. And Why None of this is Questioned and Goes on is quite a Mystery! Very Few Countries maybe one or two and a few Groups against these Giants fighting their evil ways!

Seems like a very flea against Goliath kinda contest! Guess the fleas gotta start biting where it hurts! And well if the people don't support they DESERVE their fate! I don't think browser tracking to the extent of overriding so called brower security settings to gain a person's data is warranted by ANYONE! The sooner people realize this, hopefully the sooner things will change for the BETTER before it's too late!

In fact, I ALREADY THINK IT'S TOO Freakin' LATE!!! Herd mentality is a tough thing to beat especially given the wicked sheherds are using their flock as guinea pigs! Wake UP or Die with your eyes open! Go down to your store to get some! I destroyed my Facebook account upward of 3 years ago, using the then unambiguous 'nuke' option, rather than Facebook's more publicised one. I did it because of their half arsed security and because, effectively, the material that users put on their system is no longer theirs.

My account was not registered in my name, because I have an obsessive follower; I used Facebook to track down friends and colleagues from the past. As I didn't become fully accustomed to the site I didn't develop any dependency on them but, in addition to my above stated reasons, I've read with interest the tendency of both UK and US companies to insist on having the passwords to job applicants' accounts something that is changing with legal developmentsthe tendency of employers, snooping journalists, the politically correct, the police [ With the advent of Windows in particular, 'sharing' became a tendency that grew.

MS assumed that everyone would want to share their files, and their OS was wide open. Earlier, and slowly, sharing had become wedded to the caring-sharing Californian style therapies and lifestyles perhaps best ridiculed by Douglas Adams in 'The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy', with robots instructing their victims to 'share and enjoy', thus neatly encapsulating all that is bad in restaurants, waiters, the therapies and a host of other silly things, predicated in modern political thought and contemporary views of how life 'should' be.

Such was the contemporary culture of sharing into which modern computing was born, giving rise to a need for tuition in network bondage of a non sexual kind. Hmm, I think I might start using these lines on one of my websites! If I ever open a Facebook account again it will be under a nom de plume, it will be short lived, and it will merely be so that I can see how many people have caught up with the digital age, of which there are many, and how many of my friends from the past are employing the same philosophy as me.

I have a 5 year old facebook account. I don't remember the password. But I don't care since nothing on it is "real" anyway. Remember the recent quip, "I have FB "friends". I had to call a cab to take me to the airport. This article just kept hitting me between the eyes with that little joke. You DO have those folks email addresses, right?! FB has banned me. They invite me to parties, christenings, bar mitzvahs and such. I sure don't want to miss any of the fun!

So, I'll email those people and let them know I've been banned, FB is masquerading as me, and that their emails are actually going into a black hole rather than arriving at their destination me. If you've got REAL friends its assumed your family is realmaintain contact some other way. Use FB for those folks who wouldn't take you to the airport on a bet.

Though for the life of me, why you'd want to I just can't understand. But then, why would I and what do I know? I was born when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Ah, I remember my first pet stegosaurus. That's what I thought as well, especially with the second person interviewed saying she lost friends.

Like, why didn't she just re-invite them after opening her second account? Maybe what is needed is a massive, multimillion dollar lawsuit that will hit Facebook right between the eyes.

It seems to me that Facebook has become a cult and, like in a cult, as far as its members are concerned, the cult leadership can do no wrong. It also looks like Zuckerberg's billionaire position has gone to his head, as in Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Would love to see a "Waco" type response to this cult, wouldn't you? Billionaire Z has money and connections. Speaking of the CULT issue - It's very interesting that a current show on regular network TV - "The Following" involves a cult on the show uses the internet and possibly a social network like FaceBook to communicate with it's followers.

He is also a maximum security prisoner at times. May be truer to "real life" than we are allowed to know! In regards to the screenshot with the tags, when I properly deleted my facebook account, Facebook sent me an email that was full of them. Au Contraire - do you believe Facebook really deleted your account? Deactivated, yes, but deleted it?

I tried to get them to delete my account and they always tell me to "Deactivate it" and that will do the trick. Of course, you can reactivate it andvoila, it is "restored"!

When I tried to get it totally deleted, nada! BTW, I am glad this site does not require you to "log on" to your Facebook or twitter, discus, ad nauseum to send a reply.

I've used it twice. Someone who actually works at Facebook may be able to tell me if there actually is anything left, but using any and all legal means, there is no way of seeing any trace of either of my two previous facebook accounts. I'm a writer, originally from Liverpool, with the same name as the author of this.

If Mark Z the bilionaire versiontakes offence at what's written here, am I liable to find that my admittedly minimal social media presence will suddenly go to zip?

Jake, I believe you neglect that on Facebook you don't send your invitations or pictures or updates to individuals. Yes, you can mass email or text, but sorry, that isn't the same. It's not really social. If you miss an invitation to a party, how is that a tragedy? Keep your private and business life completely separate.
