Hey Buddy.... Can You Spare A Dime?
Facebook seems fairly heavy handed with their bogus friend policy citing that we are only supposed to friend people we know well.
I think we all need to stop using Facebook since for all of you who added 5,000 of your closest friends, the fact you can't add all 50,000 of them and still play Znyga games and read all the advertising might be a bother for you.
I make one request today for an add and I get logged out, the hate banner is displayed telling me why I am here and how I don't know these people as if they know who I am either.
This seems prejudicial and the want to censor. Oh, it also harassment.
Odd how FaceBook misrepresents their product to you and I and then tells us that fact later on when we attempt to make friends using their site.
I am greeted with a page inhibiting my login with the inaccurate claim I am making friend requests to people I don't know.
Then the statement goes on to say FaceBook is to be used for interacting with people I know well. Also inaccurate, FaceBook is designed for people to meet new people.
In addition, neither FaceBook nor any user or employee of FaceBook really knows WHO I am let alone being able to pretend to know WHO I KNOW. Even my close friends would not know fully who I know and I never really had any friends.
If you knew me at all, you'd know that and why.
This is a fraud.
I think you'd need to entertain there is malicious intent in this website and its design and implementation.
Seems fairly draconian to drop my session, force me to log in again, misrepresent the site and how it is used, and then claim to know more about me than I do.
For ONE friend request.
I can spend ten seconds and locate one person (Or thousands) who has over 2,000 friends and they don't know if any of them exist let alone who knows them.
No point reading news like CNN or using Facebook groups since then you will interact with lots of people that neither you or Facebook knows at all.... Gosh!
One day I went to my timeline page on my account and was shown the list of 12 friends I have with the number 12 indicating my friend count which was wrong. In that list of 12 all 4 of the actual friends I had showed up.
Odd for those who can't count to pretend to know who I am and who I know.
I absolutely hate facebook... They really screwed it up, it used to be amazing. Now messages from my own DAD,who I AM friends with, end up in my "filtered" inbox and I never get notifications. Result? My Dad thinks I'm ignoring his important message... And not to mention the shadow bans. I post in groups that used to be full of activity and nothing.
I share your views and this is also right, you won't know if this person tailors his prejudice and filters and blocks your content on a per user basis.
Or that your content, say photo albums with witness or products to sell remain there from one day to next. It may disappear bit by bit over time.
I was personally targeted for harassment, abuse, extortion, character assassination, and witness suppression by Facebook.
You pay to reach buyers, but since he can't count and has no chain of custody he can't prove much of that to you or anyone else.
It is of no use other than maybe for what I wanted to do with it, offer witness of child crimes and atrocity done to me and others.
This person has a deep set of dysfunctions.
His product should be made to work before he spends all this time and money changing it into something else, putting drones in the air, launching satellites, etc.
He DOES NOT EVEN HAVE HIS DISK STORAGE ARCHITECTURE WORKING... this is like building a skyscraper on a rubber raft....
No foundation.
I'm not a programmer, but I am a person who built my business thanks to Facebook, and now, to start 2018 I have to go look for a job because Facebook's algorithms took 99.9% of my audience away. I feel like I'm starting all over again as an artist, and in many ways, I am...
"I'm not a programmer, but I am a..."
Neither are they, you don't need to be one nor do you claim to be one.
I am and I see them for what they are.
Liars and con men.
Their problems echo or mime defunct US law enforcement.
Their systems are defunct and yes, AI approaches on a non working social platform and chat server are of no use either. Right.
Bad investments. Needless.
Why mess with doing all this "Big Brained Nonsense" that never works or waste CPU time scanning pictures of boats looking for people's faces?
So ... this person is also right I am sure...

Rusty and Eddies of long ago had this working when disk drives where something like less than 500MB in size, DRAM prices were so expensive just to get 16MB and modem speeds were less than 9600baud..... they had a working nationwide accessible chat and news server with photo and document sharing back in the 1980s.

Facebook's abstract and AI add ons seem to be done to offer another proxy and want to blame others for their bad designs.
And this is work to look busy and change for change sake.
And beyond that since Facebook never responds to a legitimate concern why bother with someone who did not want to add a friend?
There never is any dialog at all. Not a message to say we see a problem with this, can you elaborate, or we looked at your concern and agreed and took the following steps.
