Quit Facebook


I quit because they allowed someone to send a disgusting pornographic image to my page. Even worse, after I reported it the Facebook admins did absolutely nothing about it. They guy who did it, assuming it's a guy, his account is still there and he's apparently free to do the same things to others. Seems like a stupid way to run a site.

You are wasting your time asking people to quit Facebook. Most FB users are brain dead zombies who have had everything thrown at them but will not quit no matter what. My sister is one of those people. She gets sent tons of evil NSFL crap, gets outraged/shocked/traumatized about it and then tries to share her outrage/shock/trauma with me, even though I'm not on FB. It just never dawns on her that when a site gets that bad, it's time to quit. She just accepts these evil videos that keep getting sent to her as a fact of life and keeps using the platform.

Yeah... sorry to hear you're stuck subscribing to Facebook by extension.

What a pervert!

I'm not on FB anymore, but when I was I thought they were very strict on this sort of thing. Shame that's not true. Isn't facebook dying slowly as more people go to instagram?

reply

Instagram is Facebook.

And no, an article just came out saying that FB just experienced a growth of users this quarter. Whether those "users" are real and not just bots, though, is a different story.

reply

They could also be users in other countries.

Well if quitting is what you wanted to do that's fine, however you could have just as easily blocked that person then you wouldn't have to worry about getting any more images/messages from them that you're not interested in.

Can't really blame facebook because there's multiple security options to make sure your account is 100% comfortable to all users. You can make sending messages to your inbox strictly friends only.

You can turn off messages altogether to anyone not on your friend list. Make all your posts to friends only or even just for yourself to view. Like I said, there are all sorts of ways to deal with stuff like that.

reply

Not true, actually. If you make a business page anyone can post or send you messages on it. There was no way to block it.

reply

None of what you just wrote is true.

reply

If that was directed at me it is 100% true. I know this because I use those security options for my own personal facebook account. All it takes is a little time to look through to learn how to use these things.

reply

no sorry it was aimed at Jes' Sayin'

I should have stated that, accept my apologies.

You can. but hey, you already deleted it anyway so oh well.

reply

Actually, no. Even deleting is not final. One can log back in again and it all comes back, like turning on the lights of a Xmas tree.

But without the help of Facebook to enforce things, problems like this are going to crop up again and again. Last thing I need is for my customers to be turned off to my products by the disgusting imagery that weirdoes post there. If Facebook won't police their site there's no good reason for anyone to have anything to do with it.
