I rarely enter my facebook account because I only created it to follow some sellers and well, I also added a few friends later.
Few days ago, I tried to enter my facebook account. I've always needed to write my email and password to enter.
But this time Facebook started to ask for my real name. I wrote my name and my first surname (in my country we have TWO surnames, dad's and mom's surname). They didn't validate what I wrote and blocked my facebook account because they thought I was lying or something...
The question is: why they even started to ask for my full name like if they were trying to verficate my true identity if I only used to write my email and pass to enter? The only reason I could came up with is that perhaps someone thought that I wasn't the real account owner (?) (I dunno but I'm aware that a lot of people report art submitted without permission around facebook because I've received a lot of notes about people telling me "hey, this dude submited on facebook your pictures without your permission")
OK, I received a facebook team's email today where they asked my national ID card photocopy, so I was like:
WTF???
I wrote them that I prefer my facebook account suspended before giving a photocopy of my real national ID card to a company that sells our personal data to certain companies that I don't support and even to some countries that I don't personally like at all (few of them are countries that live under "dictatorships", I already saw this on News several times). If you read their Terms and Conditions you can basically conclude that they have the right to do whatever they want with your photos and data (you supposedly agree with all this when you create your facebook account). They can earn money from your pictures and personal data without your permission whenever they want. I'm so glad I only had a profile photo and few fanarts, but NO photo about my friends, family, etc.
I'm aware that they have some basic data of mine like my name, email, country and birthday, but lol, c'mon our national ID card has our parents names, our address, our telephone, our real sign and a lot of numbers behind that I'm not gonna give to facebook... I prefer that account suspended before giving them a photocopy of my national ID card just to verify my identity, I mean, Who the hell are they? a bank? the police? or what's wrong here? Other websites have a lot of alternative ways/systems to verify that you are the real owner of your account XD
I don't know if they are going to open my account or not eventually, but if they don't do it, I don't care at all NEVER give to a social network company a photocopy of your NIF or TOO personal data because the fact that a social network company needs that kind of info says A LOT about it. We are controlled to a greater extent than we think...
What else can I add? pfff... Can I resign from the human race now?, I wish I could move to another planet X'D
That's why I rarely use my real face as profile picture. My sis told me to use one so our whole family has one, but I was reluctant. What if someone else use it? Plus I'm an outcast; no one gives a shit about my picture.
And I hate how my friends just upload our pics then tag me. I wish I could just be like "I am not that person in that picture." or "who are you people?" -_-
And FB tracks what sites I go to (they would know if you're logged in and FB is connected with the other sites you're using). This is really creepy. Plus it's getting really annoying lately because now there are ads. Ugggh. D:<
When someone suggest on deviantart other artist's picture for a group, the artist receives a message where he accepts or decline. This way, the picture will be shown in the group if he accepts and will not be shown if the artist doesn't want to, but hey, facebook should at least to have a similar permission system for photos, because same thing happened to me once, so from now on I asked all my friends not to tagg me on facebook when they submit a photo. If I want to show my face on fb, I think I am the one who must take that decission by my own.
Agreed. I mean, it's almost like you've got a private diary/journal and someone just snatches it and reads it to random people, and I can't do anything about it. T-T
FB is a social networking site, and I'm not that sociable (but I only went to dA to discover, appreciate, and have fun in the world of art) and I hate it how just a bit of action done by others there can also affect you. Tags, group messages, liking and sharing, even the notifications. I only go to FB to read/look at funny pictures or if really need (like school activities and I don't have my classmates' contacts) but it's really annoying. Esp. the app notifications. -_- (It even goes to my email)
hmmm this is weird.. O_O alot of my friends dont even use their real names. And we have no problems with what you just described. I wonder if it's only for us here in Singapore you think?
PS: thanks for the information i never knew.... haha!
That's odd. It's never asked me for more than a phone number. It might be someone trying to scam you. Facebook is boring anyway. I don't want to stalk people I barely talk to in real life, I only keep mine for the occasional group project where we all need to keep in contact or for a school Link Crew (which is probably going to be canceled anyway :c).
facebook shares still tumbling LMFAO!!!!!!!! i deleted my acc too not long ago for a lot of the reasons already mentioned by others only physical rape is more intrusive than FB!! i lost most if not all respect for people using fb, when i used to see what they were talking about i felt like vomiting all over the screen, i think you all know what i mean.
They work with the police and military and are basically Big Brother. They kicked my son off because someone added him to a high school group when he is only homeschooled... I have a fake I.D. in the name Takahashi Conspiracy which is all I would ever give them if they asked, they're never getting my real fucking license, because it has information that is supposed to be private, and only given to police and banks.
I joined Facebook after endless annoyance by pretty much everyone at my school..
You know how awesome it is that you can't do homework because you do not have Facebook or Twitter. (My computer class wanted us to get a picture of our Facebook/Twitter to show the layout and well I couldn't.
I sort of wish Facebook was wiped out from existence.
Also I'll make this clear, I hate Facebook with a passion.
I did make a facebook account before but using a very fake name (obvious to anyone how fake it was) and well I just never went on it nor do I go on it now but I suppose I should.
I try to keep real life info to a minimum on the internet, privacy is everything these days.
