Yet if you want to delete your accounts on purpose you have to complete a gauntlet.
If you want to permanently delete your account, just say something critical about Mark Zuckerberg.
That won’t delete your account. They will still use data to track you and promote content in other platforms
You want them to delete anything and all. That requires a lot of effort and trust
or call out the hypocrisy of the moderation team, (despite moderation critiques not technically being against the rules)
One Canadian lost 18 years of data on Facebook after posting photos from a family trip, and had a second account banned when she tried to return. Others lost accounts vital to advertising their businesses.
If you’re putting all your eggs into one basket that’s owned by someone else, you deserve everything coming to you. People who use Facebook as their only internet presence for their business are fucking idiots.
I can’t even create a business account on any Meta product because it will automatically flag me as “impersonating someone”…and the person is literally me. It thinks I’m impersonating myself and bans me via Ai.
A properly crafted clone will not know that it is a clone.
Fair! But now I stick to Ko-Fi and Etsy, so it’s all good.
Never heard of Ko-fi. How do I find creators on it? Everywhere I go on it, it just explains how to sell on their platform.
Most people set up a shop on it and then share it elsewhere. Under the “feed” tab you can look at people you follow…but I’m not sure there’s a way to look creators up. I’ve only ever found other people by going to their shop/blog directly when they share their ko-fi.
Ko-fi doesn’t aggregate, it seems. But these folks do.
The only regulation required is for everyone to terminate their Meta accounts. A Big Brother nanny state is not utopia, except for the few in power.
A law saying there has to be human customer support available is not a nanny state, stop being ridiculous.
Requiring Meta to have humans accessible in customer support will not solve any of the real problems at Meta. Unless Meta wants to hear from and meaningfully, helpfully respond to their data sources, it will do nothing but allow abusive people to abuse the humans in customer support. And if they want to hear and respond, they don’t need a law to require them to do it. Nothing is stopping them from doing it, except their own priorities.
I just spent a month and many interactions with real humans at my electricity provider, which is a service much more important to health, safety and quality of life than anything Meta provides. The issue was one of safety and security of supply issue due to degraded equipment.
The humans in customer support were uniformly ignorant of technical requirements and business processes. Unable to answer basic questions about roles, responsibilities, timelines or even the possibility of getting anything done about the issues.
The only tool at their disposal was a job system in which they could create jobs. So they asked me what sort of jobs they should create. I don’t know their business organization or processes, so I couldn’t advise them. All the jobs they created were rejected due to being created incorrectly or inappropriately. Never with any feedback to me, of course. I had to call back and wait half an hour to an hour to speak to a human, each time I wanted an update. They didn’t even have a means to escalate my call to someone with knowledge of the business processes or authority to do anything other than open more jobs. They couldn’t re-open jobs that had been closed without any action taken or information provided. They couldn’t open new jobs with any priority on the basis that weeks and multiple prior jobs had resulted in no useful response. They had no information about when a job might be dealt with: they could not articulate any commitment to response timelines.
It wasn’t the fault of the humans in customer support, beyond their choosing to continue working in such a dysfunctional organization. It was the fault of the management that deliberately created the dysfunctional organization and business processes. But none of that management was available via customer support.
If Meta doesn’t want to hear or respond to their data sources, they won’t. It makes no difference if there are humans in support or not.
Fortunately, I was able to switch electricity providers.
Regulating trivial aspects of trivial services is not beneficial. It’s just an additional increment of control for those in power, available to be abused for more wealth and power. And a precedent for yet more regulation.
Long story short: if a company is running smoothly and serving customer’s needs, customer support should be minimal. There’s a reason Meta is so swamped with support calls.
for everyone to terminate their Meta
Seems FB is doing it for them lol
Did her a favor
……And nothing of value was lost……
Regulations won’t help.
It took me 18 months to have my data at meta deleted through local data authorities and when I later complained to a series if local politicians who gave been involved in establishing relevant regulations, they told me that they have had similar experiences and are aware.
Can you imagine if Reddit had to throw all the AI mods in the trash because they were regulated to? The autistic screeching of the M’Lady neckbeards, might actually be music to my ears!
reddit is quickly becoming a clone of facebook, wont happen quick but gradually.
Leopards ate MY face?!
