2020.01.29 Samantha Rae Anna Jespersen's Butthole
From iGeek
A woman (Samantha Jespersen) discovered a Facebook business was created in her name + butthole, when she was 15, and used her address. When she appealed to Facebook to get it removed, multiple times, for multiple years (since 2015), they refused to help her get rid of it for 5 years... and said her butthole was not a violation of their terms. After she got an article published on Buzzfeed about that inane run-around, they finally deleted it. But the problem isn't just that their quality control allowed someone to create it, it's that their quality control and customer support offered no remedy to get rid of it, without making a media case out of it.
Facebook is 3 things: bad interface, bad management, and biased policies. I want a social network that gives me control of what I see and share -- both to my friends and to advertisers. I realize they need to make a buck, and my information is their product, but the point is you can still give users the illusions of control. But Zuckerberg seems to have falling into the egocentric pit that many young billionaires do, they think because they timed things well, and worked hard, and got lucky that they're smarter than everyone else. This makes them arrogant, less mature, and slower to grow than the average human: Dunning-Kruger, inflated by being surrounded by yes-men. |
