Facebook 12+

Facebook is wonderful for reconnecting with old friends, and staying in touch with friends and family! It’s also wonderful for making new friends who have similar interests and beliefs. However, the censorship, the lack of human involvement in determining what is, and is not appropriate as far as Facebook’s community standards is extremely flawed! People have posts removed, because a single word flags computer to mark the content as inappropriate, when, in fact, the full contentis very appropriate, and even supportive of those who may be dealing with particular hardships. You can’t say the word suicide on Facebook, without risking getting banned or putting in Facebook jail for 48 hours, when, in fact, you are posting some thing that is meant to be supportive and helpful to those who are suffering and conflicted. This is wrong! And it should be fixed, because it’s becoming so out of hand, that people don’t try to help other people anymore. They don’t want to deal with the algorithms hassling them, When they’re just trying to help. This is just one example of the problems with Facebook; it’s an ability to properly determine what, and doesn’t go against community standards, which is undermining, free speech, and promoting censorship!

The app is pretty pointless to use, I feel like they are trying to make the app more like Tik tok, where they force videos down your throat. It’s difficult to see what your friends have posted because all I get is suggested for you posts, which the amount is sometimes 12+ suggested for you posts. Another thing I have been waiting for them to fix is there is some sort of bug when my brightness is turned down low, especially at night I do watch certain videos and the brightness goes up on that video. What grinds my gears about the whole suggested for you posts should be in the section of Watch. Otherwise what is the point of having a separate page to watch stuff. Another annoyance is when I am watching reels and I want to view to comments I have to swap to a whole completely different app. If you already have the option to view the video have the option to be able to view the comments. It’s so inconsistent. Finally the market place it’s so inconsistent when trying to view postings for items. If I click on the image I should have the ability to either rotate the image from landscape to portrait. Then also have the ability to zoom in. But all I get is the ability to click on the exact same image to keep it that exact same size as it was, but now with black bars on top and bottom.

My personal profile of 20+ years on Facebook Was disabled without notice due to a linked Instagram account that was not mine and that I had no access to! The only option given to appeal was to log into the Instagram account to file an appeal: Well kind of hard to do when it’s not your Instagram account, you have no access to it and Instagram help and support was anything but. Facebook was absolutely no help themselves. The help/support Center is a joke. I lost all access to my personal page and two business pages in which I had active ads running, of course Facebook went ahead and charged me for those ads even though I could not access them or control them. I even went so far as to creating a new profile in order to access some of the features in the help support center, and that was a dead end! you do not realize how much you use and rely on your Facebook account to store information and access lots of other other things until you totally lose all control of it due to no fault of your own. Apparently small businesses in the world as myself are pretty insignificant and not worth the time of giant corporate businesses such as meta! The amount of chaos, headache, stress, and even loss of business due to my Facebook accounts, being disabled cannot even be put into words. So yes, my rating would be Facebook as a whole and their app is a joke!
