My Facebook saga…

I logged into my Facebook profile on Sunday 9th May to find that it had been disabled!

As to why, the ambiguous reasons range from that I have abused someone online to I have advertised my business on the site! However, for ‘security reasons’ they cannot tell me the reason!

A link on their web site allowed me to submit a report, and two days later I got a reply to tell me that my account was still disabled and there was no right to appeal! That is like being accused in court of something but your not allowed to defend yourself and you are found guilty straight away.

Digging a little deeper this has happened to thousands of Facebook users. Many people have been disabled for stupid reasons like

  • Sending too many messages
  • Spending too long on chat
  • Adding people they maybe did not know to play them on games like Farmville

Many people have emailed Facebook apologising and asking for their account to be reinstated for something that they do not know what they did…

Wonder what I should do?

Jordan was the first one to go.  At the beginning of the show he said “Looking at the competition, I am going to win!”  Bless him, what a thicko….
