Disabled Facebook Account? Really?


Ahh,....we need a subtitle for this,....

Dummies Guide to the  Facebook Nazi


































It finally happened. They disabled my Facebook account. Not that I was expecting it. But I've been told that FB has an itchy trigger finger when it comes to arbitrarily disabling your account,....usually without any sort of explanation or with ambiguous warnings. I am one of the few people who actually read the "Terms of Service". See my blog below titled 'To Nip or Not to Nip'. I get it FB,....you don't want nudity, innocuous or otherwise, hate speech or anything that may be considered sexually provocative. So, what would provoke you to disable my account? A complaint? A robotic red flag? What? Really? I figured this was a computer glitch, but after research, it appears this sort of action by FB is quite prevalent. I'm talking ten's of thousands of disabling's that I'm finding, (it's probably a lot more than that), preceded with warnings received just minutes before. WTF, dudes? Now, if someone knows they're a spammer, or trying to 'friend' lots of people they don't know,...well, that makes sense. Or, if you've posted blatant sexual content,...again, I get it. But, this is just plain and simple BS, and may well be construed as Gestapo like tactics to force the masses into a milktoast online existence, while you pocket your f***ing,....uhhh, what is it now,....6 Billion dollars? Again, NO EXPLANATION,...if I were to guess, since I know I made sure there wasn't any nudity, (and I would never say anything hateful to anyone), I would guess the images above and below.  But, I'm just 'guessing'. These images were taken in a public club,....not a titty bar. They represented a form of self inflicted masochism, (I guess), that I suppose may also be a lifestyle for some. What do I know,....I find no sexual stimulation from viewing, documenting, or, were I of another mindset, participating in any sorts of painful endeavor. As the person visually documenting it, I found it curious and interesting,...akin to Cirque du Soleil or sword swallowing,...certainly nothing that would violate FB's 'Terms of Service'.
It sounds as if this kind of action by FB, promulgated without due process, (or even a days notice to rectify their concerns), is, in fact, biting the hand that feeds it,....and may well just end up biting FB in the arse in the near future. The internet that made your existence possible is abuzz with your eventual demise if this corporate bad behavior is not addressed. Just sayin'....
In the meantime,...(or maybe forever), go to the 'Contact' page on my website, and click the Club or Art event you want to view, and use/post those images as you wish,....including on your Facebook.
...or maybe it was Suzie's outfit. (she WAS covered,...with opaque tape and paint)

I agree completely, as I know you are one of the few who is actually careful about not pushing the limits of FB. If they continue this crap, people WILL move to another service, someone will replace them!
