Things i hate about facebook
I love using Facebook and I always will, but some of their policies and ways of doing things are very fucked up. I hate their policy on fake accounts. They hate fake accounts and try to always delete them. I have one fake account left which I made in June 2013. The was back before they cracked down and Facebook even wanted to make sure I was registered to vote. Thankfully facebook really believes this is a real account and is seems safe from their clutches. I use this account to express my honest opinions on issues and express my frustration. People think I'm a troll but I am not doing this to provoke people and make them upset. I just don't want to post some of these things on my real account in case they get into the wrong hands. I must admit that some of my views are controversial.
I hate how Facebook pages and Facebook itself censures things. When I go to my activity log, some of my comments say "custom" by the privacy setting listed. I didn't set anything to custom, which means that I'm most likely the only one seeing my own comments. I'm sure the assholes who manage the page don't see them either. I hate that some pages use a swear filter. Any comment with a curse word is completely invisible but in the number tally of total comments.
I also hate the mobile phone requirement. Facebook is so fucking sneaky. One day in 2013 on my real account, I was suddenly logged out for no apparent reason. I logged back in, and they asked for a fucking mobile number! I was 16 back then and my parents hadn't let me have a phone again for certain reasons. ( I had a cellphone before, but they took it away.) It had a text or call option. I was so super pissed that I tried to log in again. Now there was only a text option. I kept trying until the call option was available again. I put my parents landline and still to this day that's my number for Facebook. They tried to ask me to reverify it a week ago, but thankfully I could ignore that shit. My current cellphone number is associated with my fake account, which should help make it more secure. I can't stand how hard that make it to create fake accounts. Most of the ones I have tried to create were asked for a fucking ID within hours!
I also think their blocking feature is weird. If you have a messenger conversation with someone who blocked you, you can see when their profile picture changes. It will say "this person isn't available right now" but their CURRENT profile picture will be there. Assholes can try to block me, but they can't hide totally. I use my fake account to check up on someone who blocked me on my real account. I use my real account to check if comments made on my fake account are showing up publicly.
Facebook could be A LOT better than it actually is. They need to lay off the censorship. I will always use Facebook, but I still say Fuck Facebook!
