Facebook Lowers the Boom

Facebook is monitoring usage.  Users who do not comply, will have service ‘cut off.’  Here’s the news from our good friend Peggy Dolane, Provient Marketing, Seattle. Thanks Peggy!

And any of you who haven’t started a business page, it’s probably time to do so…..

Facebook is serious about its profile TOS

September 23rd, 2010

Facebook is serious about its TOS. Don’t set up a profile, when it’s really a Page you need.

Facebook is serious about its TOS. Don’t set up a profile, when it’s really a Page you need.

Have you been trying to fly under the Facebook radar and avoid setting up a Page?

I just was reminded by a client that Facebook is serious about shutting down profiles that are not real people.  This means if you are flying under the radar using a personal profile for your business instead of setting up a business page, your account is at risk of being shut down by the Facebook patrol.

And just because you are a non-profit, don’t expect Facebook to go easy on you.  One of my clients a local (small) nonprofit just got shut down by the Facebook police.  If you have been thinking you are too small for Facebook to notice.  Think again.  And don’t wait to be caught.  It’s worth your while to set up a business page now and start migrating people to it before you are forced to.

Because even if you beg for clemency, the Facebook patrol will only give you a three week window to amend your ways before they shut you down for good.

Here’s a copy of an email Facebook sent my client when they begged to be reactivated:

Hi,

After reviewing the situation, we have temporarily reactivated your account. Unfortunately, the profile held under this email address is being used to maintain a Facebook presence for a brand, business, group, or organization. Facebook profiles are intended to represent individuals only, and it is a violation of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities to use Profiles to represent any other entities.

As a result, we have scheduled the profile under this email address to be permanently unavailable after three weeks. If this account is used solely to maintain a Page, please add your separate, personal profile as an admin to the Page in question or add other admins to the Page. To add admins to a Page, follow the instructions below:

[http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=15188].

If you do not have a personal profile, you may create one by going to http://www.facebook.com/.

Keep in mind:

  • Pages must have admins who have personal profiles on Facebook.
  • You may only create a Page if you are an official representative of the entity in question.
  • Pages may have more than one admin.
  • The admins’ personal information is not published to fans of the Page and they cannot gain access to your personal information.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer further support for this issue. If you have additional questions regarding Facebook products and features, feel free to visit our Help Center at the following address:

http://www.facebook.com/help.php

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

Josephine

Have you been thinking you are too small to be noticed?  Think again.  Can you afford to start over?  Why not follow Facebook’s terms of service in the first place!’
