Purposely sharing animals being ripped apart and says it's not below their community standards, ....... showing women being beaten up..... men dedicating whole Pages to women being beaten up on the street and Facebook says this is not below their community standards. ....... Facebook, clearly is run by the filth of society, gutter dwelling… Read more

trash who want to bring the vibrations of the general public down to the gutter, where Facebook values are

Paid Ads disguised as posts , complete with dozens of thumbs up to give it a more realistic look and replies or likes from real users are automatically deleted to keep the illusion that everyone likes the post. Paid political advertising where Facebook AI bots post in behalf of politicians and major companies then delete unfavorable replies. At… Read more

least 10%-15% of all ads are fraudulent yet Facebook is happily taking money from scammers and fraudsters and help them rip you off. And what's with having a bot asking users to verify themselves they are not bots before being allowed to log in, are Facebook bots afraid of a little competition or just another way they use to block undesirable users who question their crooked ways of doing business ? It time the Australian government looks into Facebook fraudulent practices and regulates them or shut them down.

Out of nowhere, my FB account for 15 years, was suddenly frozen and locked out. ask to send my driver's license to verify myself and do a selfie. Be cautious; don't be stupid enough to fall into their trap. Report this to federal authorities to shut down Facebook forever here in Australia.

I purchased 3 x SCNDR 360 Smart Holographic Starry Sky Projectors from LEAFYRA who advertise on Facebook. I have received cheap items totally different to what was advertised. After contacting them they requested pictures for evidence and have requested for me to return it and will only refund 30% .

Fully complicit in the sharing of misinformation, fake news, AI slop, and extreme right-wing propaganda to the point where it is damaging liberal democracies and the social order. All so Zuckerberg can make money. You try to report blatantly racist posts and Facebook ignores you. I suggest to all of you to delete your accounts.

My wife has been with FB since 2010 and never had a single issue with FB. She received an email yesterday saying her account had been suspended due to an "association" whaever that is. She appealed and FB requested she upload a selfie which she did. A minute later she received an email saying her account had been permanently disabled. No reasons,… Read more

no nothing. My wife is disabled and had 280 friends from around the world with whom she regularly communicated with. She is very upset and I just wonder what these companies have now become relying on AI which is very wobbly at best. Disgraceful conduct by Facebook.

Facebook Ads-don't bother. I pumped money into it for ages and got a lot of spam emails but not a single enquiry despite the huge number of "clicks". Then I put products on Marketplace and was bombarded with genuine enquiries. Clearly the Ads uses bots to click on the links. Same as Google Ads. I ended up going back to B2B cos calling and emailing which was more successful than advertising on these scam sites

Facebook decided that I was not worthy of being a customer. I had an account for years which I rarely used but to occasionally post a Christian video of me playing guitar and talking about the bible or sell an item on marketplace. I had to close it because of relentless interference from Facebook saying I was using too much. On trying to open a… Read more

different account they decided after a week and a video of my face that I was an unacceptable person and would never be able to open any account with them ever, despite using a different phone number. No excuse or reason why but that I was not an acceptable character. Anti-Christian? Don't waste your time with them once you are marked. You're better off without them. They will just continue to waste your time.

3 times this year Facebook has closed my account and demanded proof that I am human. How quickly could I actually morph into a robot? If I was human the first time, then clearly I am human now. They demand a video and say they wont keep the data for any more than 28 days. Quite clearly 28 days later they demand the data again. I did it twice but I… Read more

am leaning towards giving facebook the flick this time. If that is the level of intelligence of a person who gets into Harvard, then clearly the t-shirt is the most impressive thing there. I had serious doubts about Zuckerberg's personality before this and this has only strengthened my belief that he has serious issues to be signing off on such a childish approach.

There are a number off issues I have with Facebook. I listed an item with them and placed it on roughly 12 group sites as well as the main site. I had their AI tell me the item was fake and they took my account off. I asked for a review as the items are authentic. Eleven of the 12 reviews that they did, said my ads were legitimate but one said… Read more

it was fake - this is for the same item!! As a result, I have an ad on my Facebook page that I cannot amend or remove or ask for a further review. Their rating system has been down for over a week and everyone is unable to rate a person who they have have had dealings with on Marketplace. There is no easy way to contact Facebook to tell them that they have stuffed up their web site, and I am NOT going to go through hoops trying to tell them. I have an old computer screen that does not have a camera. Like many others on this site, I have been FORCED to do facial recognition. This means I have had to have a lend of someone's laptop so that I can do the facial recognition to get my account reinstated. This is happening about once every 10 days. Surely, some brain surgeon in there can work out a system whereby once people have done the facial recognition, that it should be sufficient for more than 10 days. Toughen up Facebook and have a shop front where people can contact you with issues where you are accountable instead of hiding behind a veil of impossible tasks to contact you.

Facebook will not allow me to block the posts of the terrorist loving communists. Also called the ALP! But anyone with an open mind would recognise them as the Australian Communist Party.

Beware ALL Facebook sponsored advertisers They are mostly selling scam product that DOES NOT WORK and many either add almost the purchase proce for bogus handling and other charges OR you never see the goods. Facebook makes it impossible to contact these people or Facebook Facebook appears a scam organisation facilitator

Facebook is a political influenced social media that can’t and won’t allow criticism of government departments and political parties influenced by other means. It doesn’t allow free speech and like the government punishes anyone who pokes fun at the… Read more

British Labour Party It restricts and bans anyone who criticises or pokes fun at government activities eg The treatment of the young girls raped in the uk by Muslim Pakistani old men for over 10 years which was covered up by South Yorkshire police and the government and who even arrested the fathers of the girls for complaining about the abuse. And the government refusal to prosecute the police or the councils that hid these crimes. If you put comments about the religion of Islam practicing and condoning this and ask why it’s allowed to flourish in countries where their beliefs are against the law or Criticise the government stance you are a racist or Nazi Free speech is a right win by our forefathers but is not allowed on this platform

 Follow-up  · A banning order is all that Facebook can give WITHOUT even allowed to write anything in your defence, all this from a company that is owned by Elon musk a strong believer in free speech

Facebook is forcing Australian users to submit facial biometric video selfies to access their accounts, with no alternative and no opt-out. This violates the Australian Privacy Act. I’ve lodged a complaint with @OAICgov and urge others to do the same. @Meta must be held accountable.

They prioritise serving ads over content. The ads will load first, then sometimes content. It's full of p*rn with OF losers showing their stuff. Marketplace is mostly scammers from the sub continents. The paid advertisements are mostly clickbait scammers. Now the reels have a scam advert every third reel. Facebook and Meta could stop most of these… Read more

problems overnight, but choose not to. They are happy to take advertising money, even if it is from a scammer. Facebook and meta are despicable. I just deleted them off my phone. Going to buy a couple of books instead.

They don't even deserve 1 star Block my account without giving any reason, I contacted Facebook to ask what was the reason but they didn't respond. Why can't they block the accounts of the scammers they have on Facebook. Now I have lost all my contacts. Terrible

Facebook suspended my Facebook account about 6 months ago FOR NO LEGITIMATE REASON. They say it is because an Instagram account had contravened some rules. The problem is it was NOT MY INSTAGRAM account! IT IS NOT MY INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT, NOR DO I… Read more

HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO THAT ACCOUNT, OR EVEN KNOW THIS PERSON.

I don't know how they thought my Facebook account was in any way linked to this Instagram account.

I have asked them repeatedly to disconnect my Facebook account with this Instagram account and restore my Facebook account.

I have sent many, many emails and messages through Facebook, Instagram and Meta, BUT NOT ONE SINGLE RESPONSE!!!

I have been trying to fix this problem for 6 months.

This is a very simple matter to resolve, yet they do NOTHING.

SHAME ON FACEBOOK.

 Follow-up  · Facebook is run by id*ots who have no idea what they are doing. They WRONGLY suspended /cancelled my Facebook account for no legitimate reason. They DO NOT REPLY OR RESPOND TO ANYTHING. If they had half a brain between them they would very quickly recognise THEIR MISTAKE. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for me, please respond.

Has deleted my 20 years old account to force me to sign up a new one. After already gave my name, date of birth, email to verify me, it wanted the phone number. Then I had to pass some stupid puzzle tests to prove I was human , but even that wasn't enough. It also wanted a video of my face from different angles so it can use face recognition… Read more

technology. Fingerprint scan already on laptop so the only thing Facebook is missing is a blood sample to take my DNA. And the government is worried about Tik-tok collecting some information ?

I was denied access to FB when they discontinued their two-factor ID authenticator a few years ago – I was in a stroke rehab hospital at the time, learning to walk and talk and eat again – and only discovered I’d lost access to my account when I was discahrged in August 2023. I haven't been able to access my account ever since! I tried again… Read more

yesterday. Wasted the afternoon trying, but all Meta does is ask for ID (sent passport and it was accepted), and a code they said I could use as a password (it produced an error msg). Well, after jumping through all these hoops, they still want the two-factor authentication code - you know? The one I can't give them because they discontinued the authenticator I'd previously used and I was never given the opportunity to set up a new one in the Google authenticator I use for everything else?

So round and round I go, and there's no way forward.

Facebook just keeps sending me reminders to log back in, (see attached for today's reminder!) and I have no way of telling them I can’t log in because I don’t have the two-factor authentication set up!

They offer no support; and no means to reach them so you can tell them what the problem actually is! And they think they're leading the world in AI - trained with millions of books they stole from the pirate site, LibGen!

Looking at the hundreds of messages begging for assistance on LinkedIn (none of which get a response from Meta), they can't even manage the rudimentary elements of effective communication.

I am growing increasingly fond of Bluesky. It's effective, it's not constipated with fake-info, and it's not toxic.
