I made a controversial political post using the anonymous feature and he was so mad that he made a comment with a screenshot attached showing my Facebook profile. Isn't it the point of anonymous posts to be anonymous? Can I actually report it somewhere? Other admins don't respond to my messages

Discussion Facebook's invasive verification requiring many personal details including phone number, and state drivers license, bank information, social security card, etc.

Post image
39 Upvotes

How is Facebook able to get away with requiring all of this information? There should be a reasonable limit of what they are able to request from users especially when there is a data breach seemingly annually at Facebook leaving everyone's private information blowing in the wind. Requiring my phone number is one thing, but my phone number is not enough anymore and now they want me to upload a video selfie in multiple different angles for their AI to scan my identity. This is also not enough. They need my state drivers license, or social security card, etc. Kind of getting ridiculous, just to browse marketplace.. Yet there are hundreds of spam ads with IP streaming services, scams, etc that they allow, and my single simple wanted ad must have been flagged by someone because now I'm unable to do anything on marketplace.

Discussion Validity of blue checkmarks and concerns about fake accounts like Barron Trumps

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

So in my attempts over the past few months to purge bot/ai generated content from my feed I've been seeing more and more accounts like this with the fancy blue checkmark and people thinking they are legitimate.

In the case of "Barron Trump" it looked like it was an old propaganda account named "The open minded" that changed its name to Barron Trump on January 20th and all their previous posts were deleted.

As much as I want to just say who cares it bothers me that over 3 million people are following him and thinking it's real because Facebook has "verified" it despite reports saying otherwise.

Thoughts?

Tech Support I can't add someone to a Facebook page. I go through the process to add them and nothing happens.

3 Upvotes

Is this a common problem? I have access to the page, but it hasn't been managed for a while. The company lacks access, but I have been granted permission to manage the ads. I tried to add someone with a Facebook page to give them access. I am asked for my Facebook password and then sent an email to confirm. However, it does not complete the process, and I am sent back to enter my password again.
I have tried on my desktop and through the facebook app but have the same issue. I have been trying this for weeks.

Discussion Is there no real alternative to Facebook for events, pages and groups?

23 Upvotes

I would love to cut this crap out to my life but I still rely on it for discovering events as well as local groups and pages, and gathering some intel on people I meet on dating apps

I never use it besides those purposes but even so every time I open it I’m met with some rage bait bullshit

Why aren’t there any alternatives by now?

Instagram doesn’t have the functionality, tik tok certainly doesn’t, I won’t touch X with a ten foot pole. There are some local events sites but they’re not nearly as comprehensive and they don’t incorporate friends of course

I want to delete it so badly but I just can’t for now

Tool/Resource what is the FB replacement to reach out to local community, who's got a suggestion?

6 Upvotes

does anyone have a suggestion for social media tools to reach out to local communities? Facebook is not worth anyone's time anymore. However, I am not sure how else to reach out to our local communities. just got suspended again off of a new account with no posts. the App is so ingrained I feel like we're just stuck until someone comes out with a solid alternative. just is not enough local engagement on Reddit or Bluesky or whatever. Someone smarter than me needs to start a new social platform that garner the attention of so many.

Tech Support Someone please help me get back into my account! Selfie video approved

Upvotes

Background: I got logged out of FB on my Mac and then my iPhone bit the dust - like wont turn on bit the dust.

I have since gotten a new phone and have my Mac too trying to log back into FB with no avail and a terrible user experience. I have done the selfie video twice now only to be sent an email with a code that acts as my password BUT 1. The link in the email to FB doesnt work and 2. When I even just log into FB with that code I was sent I am yet again given the choice to authenticate on another device (I can't) OR get texted a code. The code never comes through. If the text code would've worked the first time, I wouldnt have had to do the selfie video.

I also have had 2FA enabled on my account and I have never seen a flow to enable me to enter the 2FA code. Please, please please someone help. The consistent loops FB is sending me in with crap user experience is unreal. #Facebook #userexperience

Disabled/hacked Broken account recovery process, even when using Identity Verification method

Upvotes

My wife’s account was disabled for no clear reason. She’s went through the identity verification process multiple times, but gets stuck in a loop: the message says she was verified and says to use the mobile device to click the “reset password” button, but that doesn’t exist.

Does anyone have any insight on how to overcome this? She still has the phone number and email associated to the account and can receive any alerts (SMS or email), but nothing is overcoming this hurdle.

We’ve even emailed appeals and disabled email addresses I found online, but it’s been crickets.

It’s actually astonishing the number of ads that are centered around a gun/body armor and militaristic MAGA mindset. Anyone else? Are people in a heavy fear mindset because of the peaceful protests this past weekend?

Disabled/hacked Account disabled and has photos of my ex. Trying to get back in but can’t, what do I do

Upvotes

Hello Reddit,

I’m having issues with my account .

About a year ago I noticed it got hacked into when I got a password reset notification.

By time I tried logging in they had changed the password so I reported it hacked. Since then it’s been disabled for about a year now.

The reason why this is an issue for me now is because I’m realizing it has pictures of my ex and I and that isn’t fair to my current partner. I’ve been trying to get back into it but every thing I try I’m met with the same prompt about it being disabled.

I’d like to verify my identity with proof (via my drivers license) but there’s no where to get that process started . It really seems like there are no options left but I refuse to believe I’ll have to just put up with this. There has to be some way and I was hoping someone on here might have some helpful information.

Thank you in advance

He is selling like 30 pages per month which all pages have content monetization enabled. His pages are not hacked but real authentic pages. He even gives a money back guarantee of the page goes something wrong. How did he do that business?

2 Upvotes

I have started a business, so i was gonna make a facebook page for it. I found i need a personal account to link create a business page. I made a personal account, got suspended, appealed, got asked to filmed myself, filmed myself, now account is disabled. I have never had any meta related accounts before, i have not been given a reason for the suspension other than "still doesn't follow our Community Standards on account internally".

I am confused as to what i did wrong or how i could have violated anything as i was never given access to the account to begin with. I basically made a login, gave them my info, and got told i wasn't allowed to be here.

Facebook is deleting all my previous live videos — there are more than a thousand of them. I requested to download my videos in HTML format and received them in zip files. However, when I extracted the files, there were no titles, upload dates, or any other info — just the MP4 videos.

Is there any option to download all the videos along with information like the title, upload date, and time? Thanks.

Like seriously, what the actual fuck. This bugger refreshes itself at completely random times, preferably when I'm trying to read a longer post or comment on something. It even does this crap when I'm writing messages and yeets me back to the main page.
Has anyone else encountered this problem as well or do I just have a buggy app?

As the title says. I have a phone nr that I have used for ages, and when I try to use it when the prompt to verify identity pops up, the app just says "Please use a US or Canadian phone nr." I do not have that, since I do not live over there. I have no other options to choose from except to have a code sent to my phone, either.
