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.
Most accounts that I set up do NOT have my truthful information (name, DOB, etc.). I made that decision long before all of this nonsense started. I like my privacy and don't want anyone else having that information. Just like my phone, I keep the "Locations" turned off, and will only turn it on IF needed. People ask me why I do that and I say, "Why not!"
good point!
