I rejoined FB after 6 years of separation. My marketing person is insistent that it is a primary advertising source here in rural USA. She's not wrong. But within 3 days, my account was suspended for violating community guidelines.
What did I do? I deleted my birthday because it appeared to be public and I didn't want to fuss with looking for the correct buttons to hide it. Here's where I draw the line: to get back on, I must provide a photo to prove it's me, EVEN THO THEY DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF ME under that name. It is my married name and I opted to do an account without any personal info.
Tell me you're not implementing a data collection system without telling me you're implementing a data collection system.
Automated? not buying it.
Yeah, that's pretty much how I lost my FB account back in 2020. Had a group I was an admin for get zucked on the grounds it was affiliated with the Boogaloo Boys (wasn't even remotely close; it was a pro-wrestling group) and, in turn, my account was suspended because I was an admin of said group.
When I attempted to get my account back, FB asked for a picture of the front and back of my drivers license to verify that it was my account. Wasn't worth it.
