Facebook Said
Have you ever gotten sent to the “FB” jail or doghouse because you violated FB community standards?
There are consequences you know.
Since the internet is an international, global network of computers they comprise an international community with varying standards which may be okay in countries, outlawed in other countries and banned in still other countries.
So which standards exactly did you violate?
Recently FB took down one of my posts and I had a caution flag on my FB page which said, “We took down your post because it appeared that you are looking for likes.” So it appeared I violated the “likes” standard? Is there a law that prohibits getting likes? More directly how does one go looking for “likes”?
As I began to challenge or voice my opinion on my post, I thought it might actually be thoughtful to know exactly what post they took down. When I clicked on the FB flag, a message appeared that the post in question could not be seen (they took it down). Apparently showing me the post would be a violation of their community standards.
The only option I could find was to select a response that indicated that FB may have misunderstood my post. FB said it would take between 7-14 days for them to take another look at the post (so they do have it, but not able to tell or show me the post). It’s now been 2 – 3 weeks and I still don’t know whether they put the post back up, or decided that it in fact did violate their community standard.
As I said earlier there are consequences. I could have been put in jail, removed and banned from FB altogether or worse……..RTM
