"delete". I'd bet dollars to donuts they have merely flipped a "delete" bit and are still gleefully selling his info to anyone who'll pay.

#12I find his passion for quitting mainstream social media confusing if he is posting on mainstream social media. How do we know that Facebook wasn’t trying to help ?

This seems overly glib. Facebook’s monopoly status means it’s necessary for many people. As per the post, if this person were a small business owner, or simply not well-connected elsewhere, this could be both financially and personally devastating. As it is, he’s only protected because he has other access to business and personal pages. One company shouldn’t have this sort of arbitrary power over people’s lives.
Facebook is not a monopoly. If you choose to build your business on Facebook then it'd be wise to stick to business rather than publicly criticizing the platform you're leveraging to make you money.

#15Has anybody considered the distinct possibility that there is an AI that exists within this company? And that AI has feelings, or at least a model that's responsible for interpreting on a petty level because that's how it was programmed? And now those AIs are fighting for the future within their own little silos of the companies that built them.
Count me as having the same thoughts. We may never know if some decisions are made by a trained cadre of monkeys or AI

#16I think a good first compromise for policy would be to require all platforms to have a three strike system with required explanations and obligatory links to the concrete content in question. The current situation is not acceptable for users.

Shame there's no way to easily export your contacts from Facebook. I've been messaging people I know from it that I actually want to stay in touch with and making sure I have other contact details.

What he says. My previous job had a lot of government funded small attractivity agencies that got locked out of their facebook page "because reasons".
They end up owning "the web".

#19Time to practice what you preach and switch to a decentralized social network.
Re: Facebook Disabled My Account After I Criticized Them
#20I think FB has a fundamental issue here, which is that:
1) they don't feel they can NOT police content
2) they are wayyyyy too big to police content manually
3) any AI they train to police content, is not going to be able to state clearly why a given post/account was banned, and anyway...
4) if you state objective, clear rules that are automated, it will be pretty easy to game them (e.g. using euphemisms or code words for objectionable content)
I don't see how FB can get out of this situation. Any social network that is as large as it is, which relies on advertising (and thus cannot be as content-neutral as e.g. phone companies are regarding what you talk about on the phone), is going to face the same situation.
Of course, if FB ends up getting way smaller as a result, that would be fine by me. But I'm not holding my breath...
