Facebook does it again. Hope you're not one of the 14 million.

I had my facebook account disabled...😭 by Facebook ...even though I've had it for nearly 10 years. And at one point it was fairly heavily used, work contacts, relations, friends, pictures and so on, but lately not so much.

Over the last year, all bar three cousins were deleted, along with all my history, ever. I was down to a logo of an E (phonetic spelling of first syllable of Ian) for Asphalt 8 car game racing purposes, my name was again changed to display over my cars, and Facebook held my back up Asphalt data. No other activity at all in the latest six months - apart from periodic automatic data updates in-game from Gameloft

So apparently it's okay for facebook to mine your data and sell advertising based on what you do, and how you interact or who you are if you are famous, and latch you onto scam premium numbers, and allow hackers to steal your data, and so on.

But as soon as the advantage is all in your side and none on theirs and you are using Facebook and not the otherway round it's adiós amigo!! I've appealed but I'm not holding my breath.

Free and always will be? Apparently not!

While I have a Facebook account it is purely to save my games' progress. I rarely post, and fortunately didn't post during the affected period. How useless are they when it comes to privacy 🙄

How ridiculous that they only discovered it 5 days after the event.

I did post between the times stated...however it was F1 related and as the information FB has on me is extremely limited, I doubt anyone would find it of interest.

I don't tend to post a lot, but I do wonder if this affects everyone - app and web users alike, or if it was one or the other...

I am also appalled at the way people post on FB @Poppysmum

I really am amazed at what people think we want to know about their day to day activities.

Why would I want to bore people to death with my daily doings

I never understood people who post from when they wake up till they go to sleep with every detail of their day. My first question is always why and my second who cares. My thought for the day aimed at them is 'get a life'

Re: Oops

Cleoriff — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 09:42:36 GMT

My 'daily doings' WOULD bore people to death. My F1 posts on FB probably already do...

I do have a complete and utter love of wildlife and conservation and will often share posts from WWF...

There is a difference between posting on a particular interest on FB and just posting your day from arising until bedtime. Many people have interests in F1 or wildlife and conservation, and some in both. Personally I fall in the latter category and find your posts on wildlife interesting and occasionally will post a comment.

What I also will never understand is all the people that want to 'friend' me. Who are they and why do they want to friend me. I have 100s of such requests all of which I ignore. The less strangers know about me on FB the better. I know nothing about them and have no interest in their day-to-day doings nor would they have any interest in mine. I find it very odd and unsettling tbh.

I was persuaded to join in 2007 but after a month I got my account disabled as I found it immensely boring.

I have also been told by a number of Managers and those in HR roles that they tend to look at FB profiles of applicants and those connected to the applicants to get a better idea of the person.

I've nothing to hide and the people I consider friends (which I can count on one hand) are decent people but even so considering how much garbage circulates on there I'd rather not bother with it.

Same goes for Twitter, I only maintain a professional profile on LinkedIn.
