Me and the Facebook police
Dear Facebook,
I have had an account for a number of years and my profile has attracted a rather large fan base. This fan base has mostly derived from my "comedy" antics (both on Facebook and my own website).
One of my "comedy" antics is publishing screenshots of my inbox. I get a lot of requests from random men who turn out to be perverts and want "cyber sex". This obviously has no place on Facebook and I have dedicated a lot of time to exposing these people by showing my friends and fans the disgusting messages (with humorous responses from me) and also reporting any sexually explicit or any other inappropriate content I find. I want to help keep Facebook clean!
So I was rather disappointed when I woke up this morning to find my account has been suspended (I am forbidden from posting anything for 24 hours) because some disgusting pervert reported me for posting the contents of our inbox exchange. A photo that apparently violated your terms of use. There was no sexually explicit material in there, no bullying on my part, nothing that I think constitutes violating your rules. He, on the other hand, was trying to coerce me into sending him nude pictures of myself and then using foul language when I refused. In other words, he was both sexually harassing me and verbally abusing me – cyber bullying isn't it?
Given that I am trying to perform a good service by helping to keep these sexual predators off Facebook, I find it unfair that I should be threatened with having my account deleted while this potentially dangerous sexual predator goes unpunished.
The screenshots I have posted in the past never contain anything other than good humour to the thousands of people who are fans of my profile. They certainly don’t contain anything from me that violates anything other than exposing dangerous people who shouldn’t be on Facebook. If you would rather I stop trying to help keep these morons off Facebook please let me know and I will do so. However, I question the logic of banning someone who, as well as entertaining people, is helping to keep Facebook clean whilst not punishing those who are using Facebook for inappropriate behaviour.
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts!
