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.
