Farewell Facebook, and f**k off you too

Apologies to my readers, this is not the usual technical post, but something happened that made me not happy, and I just need to explain to my friend why I have disappeared from Facebook.

It all started 15 days ago, when I received a message on Discord from my good friend Hogne Bo Pettersen, asking me if it was something he said that made me unfriend him.

I was flabbergasted, to say the least, because I did not unfriend him, so I went to log on to FB to check what happened.

I could not log in and I saw this

Well, is pretty obvious that this one is NOT my Instagram account. To me looks like a bot attack.
Anyway, it seems that the only way to ask to remove the suspension is log on to IG and file a report.

I did that, using my real IG account, but obviously the savy monkeys that manage Meta security and “compliance to the rules” expect me to log on using that su9…. account, because so far they gave me no answer.

I was already considering since some time to leave Facebook, it has its advantages, I love to be able to see what my friends are doing, their pictures, the little or big things that happen in their life and they want to share; on the other hand it was getting worse everyday, about half of the posts were “advertising” or “sponsored” or “we thing you may find this interesting”, which made it difficult to go to the post that really were interesting for ME and not the Meta advertisers

Now they gave me the reason to do it, they threw me out and I do not have the slightest intention of creating another profile and use that crap again.

What did my supposed IG account do to not follow their rules ? Give a bit of explanation? No, huh ?
Imagine you get a fine with the motivation “you broke the law”….

I always thought that the people behind Meta “compliance” were a bunch of brainless invertebrates or even less intelligent beings and this is just a confirmation.
What can you expect from a company that censor a post with a statue of Milo’s Venus because” it shows a nipple” and then accept to advertise this ?

So, as I already did with Twitter, my last message to Meta is “fuck off”, learn to better manage your users.

My friends that really want to reach me can find me on Discord, though is a completely different way of interaction, or they have my phone number.
