The Facts About Facebook
Facebook&#x27;s been ramping up their censorship of their users to an unbearable extent. Apart from losing control of the situation when it comes to peoples&#x27; data, they&#x27;re also losing control of their attempts to purge their own platform of things Silicon Valley tech giants frown upon on their own platforms. &quot;Getting Zucc&#x27;d&quot; is an internet meme for a reason.<p>I have friends who got suspended from the platform for 30-some days for posting pictures of their children to their own profile. Just children, doing children stuff. Not naked, not doing anything wrong or illegal by anyone&#x27;s moral standards. I myself got suspended for 7 days by posting a completely apolitical, non-offensive joke to a private group that their system deemed evil. And then caught another 30 day suspension when I posted a screenshot of my suspension to my friends to laugh at how stupid the situation was. I&#x27;ve had enough of it. As personal as the experience is, before it used to be that people who were getting suspended had very easily understandable reasons behind it: when someone posted stupid, edgy stuff and got punished for it then at least you knew why it happened and acknowledged that it was fair enough. I understand that this is all anecdotal, but nowadays it&#x27;s been very common to see my active friends be on timeouts. Why?<p>Facebook does not offer one iota of support for their users, be it when they get banned or have issues on the platform that a human should see. You&#x27;re not getting through, clicking the buttons does nothing. Just like Google.<p>I have a friend who unfortunately attracted the attention of a mentally ill stalker, she was harassed and threatened for months by this stalker and his friends, she almost ended up committing suicide due to this. Our circle of friends reported this person to Facebook and they deemed it to be completely acceptable and allowed it to continue.<p>Not even mentioning the whole psychological experimentation crap they were doing with the goal of keeping people glued to their platforms by any means necessary, even if it means driving them into depression.<p>When people look at Facebook and the things that have been leaking out into the world, people don&#x27;t care for any excuses anymore. And it might not be fair but they&#x27;re giving Facebook the treatment they received. Even if the media sensationalises the whole anti-Facebook thing, a lot of people resent it for a reason.<p>I simply contacted my friends, left them alternative ways of contacting me and requested that my account be deleted.<p>Happy birthday to Facebook, Mr. Zuckerberg. This is the 15th year of hollow excuses and empty, soulless explanations.
