One of the world’s most insignificant significant websites and one which wastes more time and headspace than most has admitted itself flawed in its roll-out of new privacy settings and admitted that it has ‘missed the mark’ expected from its users.
For me Facebook is a complete waste of time, intellect, effort and pleasure. For many millions, it is an essential daily past-time and communication tool.
For myself I am a deactivated member – not due to the fact I have ever really used it for its purpose but rather it is easier to withdraw member’s accounts when one has an account than without. In the past I have had clients who have had their identity hijacked by imposters, and I have activated my account in order to easily contact Facebook admin and ha e my client’s imposters removed. I have then deactivated my account – I have never wanted to be on Facebook per se, rather have access to it through a necessity for my clients.
About a month ago I received what I thought was spam announcing that my Facebook account had been reactivated. It was only at the weekend when I received a number of invites that I realised that Facebook had automatically re-activated my account without a request from me or by them to me.
Facebook’s security is an issue, the safety of its members, in my opinion, is even more so!
