Facebook is changing the terms of service for users, let us tell you why some people are not happy with it.
Facebook will now determine rather or not your content is good or bad. If the company does not agree with your content they will now remove it from the platform.
Users of Facebook’s app have started receiving notifications regarding a change to its Terms of Service which states:
Effective October 1, 2020, section 3.2 of our Terms of Service will be updated to include: “We also can remove or restrict access to your content, services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts to Facebook.”
Users are not happy with Facebook being able to determine what the company thinks is good or bad, especially at the heist of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Yet others argue that it may be a good move and weed out content that is mis-informative.
Prior to posting on thr platform Facebook has set out the rules that can be followed to ensure your posts are not removed.
The platform is cracking down on scammers and mis-conducting posts currently.
According to reports, On Thursday, the social network announced that it filed two separate lawsuits against developers for violating the company’s terms of service. The lawsuits show that Facebook is trying to send a clear message to companies that abuse its platform.
“Security researchers first flagged MobiBurn’s behavior to us as part of our data abuse bounty program. We then took enforcement action, including disabling apps, sending a cease-and- desist letter, and requesting MobiBurn’s participation in an audit, as required by our policies. MobiBurn failed to fully cooperate,” Jessica Romero, director of platform enforcement and litigation at Facebook, wrote in a blog post.
A separate lawsuit was also announced against Nikolay Holper, who was operating an alleged fake engagement service known as Nakrutka to sell fake likes, comments, views, and followers on Instagram. Facebook said Hopler also did not comply with its cease-and-desist letter.
What are your thoughts for the new Facebook terms?
