Facebook

I have to use Facebook for work because a dimwit at my job thought it would be a good communications tool for the company. Now, I'm front of the monitor checking on Facebook from Twitter...
I had to suffer through intermittent outages but 3 hours and counting?!

I am giving Facebook 1 star due to unfair censorship and restrictions on my account. As an atheist, I frequently share memes and posts that poke fun at religion or question religious beliefs. However, Facebook routinely removes my posts and restricts my account for 'violating community standards.' These posts do not promote hate or violence, they just express an atheist viewpoint.

Facebook claims to support free expression, but that clearly only applies if you express mainstream or religious-friendly ideas. Atheist and humanist viewpoints seem to trigger the censors and result in account penalties. I have had posts removed and been blocked from posting for days at a time just for sharing content that would not bat an eye if it were Christian or Muslim in nature.

For a platform that is supposed to enable open sharing of ideas and bring people together, Facebook is quick to censor and restrict atheist and humanist members.

I enjoy the posts and groups on Facebook. I really like the memes and reels. It's very entertaining.
But, I don't like their so called community standards. They are unreasonable and step all over our fundamental rights of freedom of speech. They get more and more restrictive in a selective way. Banning and bleeping out everyday words as they see fit. As well as restricting accounts if you offend them.
Who's community standards? Opinions are usually offensive to someone who doesn't agree, that doesn't mean they should be stifled or removed. Facebook doesn't have the right to preach on what's moral or what's offensive because that's just someone's opinion.
And when you are accused of violating their community standards, you get no recourse. No reason why, no chance to defend yourself or give any feedback on the issue.
I feel they overstep their authority and their community standards is garbage.

According to Facebook, star ratings encourage more people to rate a business, making it eligible to appear in the news feed. This helps readers discover new businesses, while businesses create greater brand awareness

This site looked promising at first but then it turned very quickly. I ended up on a post that I had beliefs in but they were not coinciding to the clique's opinions. I quickly found myself being bullied, of which, i stook up for myself. If this had been in person, they would've been charged with abuse! Needless to say they kicked me off COM, obviously they need better management! I would stay clear of this site and do it the old school way... Chat with other moms in person and/or read up on it from a book or using Google...

This is the Facebook page of Athens Nanny Central - which I started up partly as self promotion when I was living in Greece for 6 years. I have kept it going despite leaving (and returning yearly!) Athens, since I know Athens well, and now help other nannies and parents to find each other.
I post all kinds of information and advice about children and childcare, and related subjects. In the future I would like to expand this to a real business and move up from giving free agency links, to being paid for my advice and help.

As a social media platform FB is the bomb. There is little they can do to open up the world to itself. Data protection for their users is poorly handled though and not just because of recent headlines.

I discovered Facebook (FB) slowly. Computer education and personal circumstances made me privy to realistic expectations for social media. Ultimately, members learn it's best to marginalize FB information----yours and theirs--and treat all interactions like a gabby friend. The latest FB nonsense: "persistent notifications." Recommendation: Treat FB like entertainment only, and go put your face toward the sun.

I enjoy how almost all sites across the internet have facebook built in. So if you like something, you can share it to your wall. Something simple as this can turn the facebook news feed into an show of interests among friends. Though this is not a central part of my life, its something nice to go along with it.

A few weeks ago I would have given this 4 stars, but given Google's attempt to try an make something better (and in my opinion failing) I think that I now have to give this site a 5 start rating. It's got many things wrong about it, including terrible customer service (it's impossible to actually speak to someone or email someone directly), it's just that everyone is on the site. Easier to contact people on here than email.

New member, I wanted to get verified. The automated system sent a 6-digit number that didn't come from a standard phone number and my device blocked it repeatedly.
There is no alternative, no call, no email possible.
So FB blocked me as "suspicious".
Is this the future of technology? Dramatic!

I can tell you at times that I get basically bored with Facebook. Sometimes I get invites from people to participate in games that to me are totally uninteresting although I have to admit some are more interesting than others.

Also as well Facebook does not work well at times especially if one wants to connect with someone on the relationship level.

For advertising purposes it can be a helpful tool once one knows how to use it in a right way for the promotion of one's business.

For me Facebook is okay but it isn't always at times the best.

Green Chiropractic Offices Went to see Dr. David Norman Green today for the 1st time. He took my octogenarian mother-in-law in on an emergency basis because she was in a lot of pain and needed to see a chiropractor right away. Dr. Green gave her an extensive examination before recommending the proper treatment that she needed. He was able to kindly fit her in at the end of his day (late on a Friday) so that she can get relief from the pain. Dr. Green had spent a lot of time with her She left his office feeling much better. He has a good sense of humor & is kind, compassionate and patient. His office staff includes an acupuncturist and a physical therapist who are well mannered and polite. Lucy the receptionist is a very friendly, warm, kind and caring person.

If you do verse image search, you can see full of scammers pop up. There are 90% of scammers and 9% of players as they only want to text. Some people made up fake profiles especially with their education or work. Others hardly can't communicate. There is hardly any ROI there. I was on and off from Jan to July and in between two months from April to May I was trying to get my account verify to be checked with their video app if I am real person or not. I just left the app and very disappointed maybe you could meet 0.*******% good guy but what time has lost to meet one. I won't suggest to put any efforts on it. Most people left the FB dating app then back with another profile. They are not trustworthy anyhow, Even it is free, it is trash so do not need to recycle it! Just forget about it!

For me Facebook is the worst. I really think we all would be better off without it. Their primary objective is to gather information about us and our habits and sell it. Even worse now they are connecting with yahoo, google, skype and on and on.

Bans the accounts even before the campaigns are created. I'm trying to promote my blog about healthy eating and I'm getting endless account bans.

Please note that they don't ban marijuana ads and I see quite a few of them, as do casinos, sports betting, and the like.

Disgusting, I do not recommend

The Kindle app was just fine until the latest update which I got switched to today. The default view is now Top Stories with no logical way to switch to Most Recent. It's nearly impossible to find anything I need without having to go thru hoops. Whoever came up with this new design is an idiot.

I posted a picture of my granddaughter at the butterfly exhibit and was banned and my account was disabled for child exploitation! From 3 years ago. Facebook has gotten completely out of hand they think that they are the only social media site in the world. No way do defend the post no way to contact them by phone email chat snail mail or otherwise. Legitimate companies do not need to hide their contacts. Even Straight Talk has contact information and their customer service is awful. If Facebook believes they are the end I'll be all of social media they are mistaken. This is the pic. If you feel this is sexualizing a child you're the one with the problem.

I have a love/hate relationship with facebook.com. I love it because without communication I can keep up with people (not just friends) from home. They pretty much put their whole life out there. I know when their birthdays are just in case I forget or get drunk and just want to give them a shout out! I can see baby pictures, wedding pictures, graduation pictures, night on the town pictures. You name it. I feel like I know these people more than I ever have. It is a fabulous resource for companies to advertise, and build their business and to engage with their fans. BUT... the personal level of facebook.com not only weakens the communication skills of our up-coming society (among many other things) but also makes it much easier for anyone to track us down. Not always a bad thing but not always a good thing either. Wish people would be a bit more careful with what they post on the internet for their own safety but I do enjoy the insight.

I wanted a place to discuss and rant about daily political news with other moms. Found the site to be a place where trolls rule and fairness is only on the side of these bullies. Made good friends of mutual interest, but definitely too much drama. I gave the site two chances. First on an open forum, then again on a private forum (trolls came in under pseudonyms and flagged legitimate member's posts and COM administrator chose the side of trolls). Very disappointed!

In general terms, I quite like Facebook and it's good for keeping in touch with people as I live a long way from home. However, there are a few things that really hack me off.

For example, there are some businesses that use Facebook to gain new customers and then cheat them. In many cases, they openly promote counterfeit goods. The problem is that there is no way to report this to Facebook. Why? Surely Facebook has a responsibility to not to allow criminals to openly exploit their members.

Like many others, I was disabled for no reason and without the possibility of revision, without explanation, nothing. 15 years presence (and related my data that the social network has sold), never a report, never a post out of place, and Facebook I also needed for work! I am a freelancer with contacts, a page that now I can no longer administer and I had to entrust to collaborators... A disaster. Never again.

My facebook business page was hacked by someone who assigned themself as page admin and removed me. It is absolutely impossible to get any assistance to resolve the problem. I can't even report it because I kept getting the message "you are not assigned as an admin to any pages." Well no kidding. That's the problem. Facebook is no help at all, and has no customer service assistance. There are more effective places to advertise, and virtually anyplace else is more secure. If you're a business, dump facebook because they certainly don't care about you!
