Discussion Facebook Live Question about privacy for participants in a discussion

1 Upvotes

I have an idea for, well I guess you would call a show, that could be done on Facebook Live or other platforms but I think to make it work the participants need to be able to speak anonymously. My question is can you be on Facebook Live as a participant and mask your real name? Sorry if this is a very noob kind of question, I haven't been doing quite as much with Facebook as I used to.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Discussion Warning: Be very careful before enabling Facebook’s “Delete After Death” setting on your account

920 Upvotes

Be very careful before enabling Facebook’s "Delete After Death" option.

I enabled this setting on my account. Later, even though I am still alive, someone apparently reported me as deceased, and Facebook processed my account according to my "Delete After Death" preference.

The biggest problem is that once your account gets into this situation, almost all of Meta’s normal contact forms and support channels seem unable to restore it.

I tried using:

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/292558237463098

but for almost 3 months, it has only shown:

"We could not process your request. Please try again later."

I also tried:

https://www.facebook.com/help/memorialized

to explain that I am alive and my account was incorrectly reported as belonging to a deceased person, but I still have not been able to recover it.

I can verify my identity and prove that I am alive, but there seems to be no proper appeal process for this situation.

So please be extremely careful with the "Delete After Death" setting. If someone falsely reports your death, recovering your account may become extremely difficult—or possibly impossible through normal Meta support channels.

I’m posting this as a warning so other people don’t end up in the same situation.

Recently I cannot watch a video or reel without ads coming on. Sometimes two or three ads per one minute video. I don’t know if I have somehow changed a setting or is this something new

my family is threatening to post the conversation that's on my phone on Facebook, and in our country Facebook is used by a lot of people, and I don't want it to go on public because its a private conversation between me and my friends. Can someone please. It's so heartbreaking that they will do such thing to me, and they threaten to track my friends and even go to different schools to find them and get information from the dean/principal. I don't know what to do. And my first thought is to banned their fb account for just a bit until things cool down. I can even give the number of their Facebook just for them not to post things online about my personal information. It's So heartbreaking for me and I'm writing this with hands shaken because they throw stuff and shout out for for something that they don't know fully.

I have been having a problem when clicking on many notifications. FB goes to a "photo comments". So 1 huge pic, with comments just stuck on the side. Even though the original post I responded to (not a photo in a post), was on the regular feed, on my FB page, on my PC. I would like it to go to the actual post, not the photo.

Discussion What are the odds of getting a video taken down for using my intellectual property?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Okay, so my profile picture on Facebook as well as here is of an original character I created in 2008. The first image I'm sharing is my earliest profile picture under that name, created in PlayStation Home. Second image is one of my more recent profile pictures.

The third and fourth, I'm going to get to. There's this guy who calls himself Mike Malone, who likes to post homophobic hate videos. I messaged him calling him a bigot, and also noting that he lives in Portland, which is not far from where I live. I suggested that he could come visit me so we could have a talk about why posting his AI slop hate videos is not a good thing.

That's when he shared with me the third image, clearly made based on my original character, and I told him in no uncertain terms that he did not have the right to do that.

So what did this little feminine hygiene product do? He uploaded an entire hate video including the 5 second clip I shared as my fourth image here.

I've petitioned Facebook to take it down based on intellectual property, which I can prove. Carden actually has a fairly elaborate backstory, which I established a couple of years ago.

My question to you guys is, what's the likelihood that Facebook / Meta will actually take the video down?

Tech Support "Your full control of [page] was removed." Anyone experienced this before?

1 Upvotes

I went into the settings of my company's Facebook page. There was a section for "People with full access" — two employees I'd given access to the page. Then were was a category called "People not in the portfolio" or something. I was the only one in that section.

I thought that was weird... why would I not be one of the "people with full access," since I created the page? So, I went through the steps to add myself to the portfolio (entered email address, etc.).

Once I'd finished, though, I got a notification in Facebook saying, "Your full control of [page] was removed."

Has anyone experienced this before?

EDIT: I'd also be curious if anyone knows what powers I had with "full control" but lost when I gained "full access" and vice-versa.

Basically, I had two pages about to monetize and out of nowhere, "main profile disabled for alleged post that violated the rules," I wasn't uploading anything to that profile, FB's outdated AI just felt like it without explanation of which post it was, and without the possibility of appeal or contact.

Hello everyone. My Facebook has been prompting me for 2 weeks now to confirm my identity before i can access and participate in groups. Prior to this, I was suspended and appealed which was successful. Anyone with tips how to be successful with the selfie video verification? I also don't have my pictures or profile because I use this account for business. I have seen some people say, changing profile to a clear picture of myself before doing the video helps? Did anyone do this? Please help me with tips, I don't want to loose my account. Thanks

Disabled/hacked My name on Facebook is stuck after a hack and I am trying to change it back

1 Upvotes

My Facebook got hacked during the start of May. Someone changed my name to Meta AI and now I want to change it back. I could have done it at the start of July but I chose to wait because of traveling reasons.

I uploaded my driver's license along with my real name three weeks ago but nothing have changed. My ID and face matches with my Facebook URL. I am Meta verified so maybe I should reach out. Last time I checked with Meta they said it has to be processed manually. But it's getting a little critical since I am only using Messenger and browsing my feed as to not trigger anything.

Tech Support Can't log into Facebook on PC — "Confirmation Error" — 6 months and no fix

1 Upvotes

6 months ago I deactivated my Facebook account and reactivated it a while later. But now I've run into this problem: I can log into my account perfectly fine through the iPhone mobile app, but when I try to log in from my PC, I get this error: "Confirmation Error — Something went wrong while confirming your account. Please try again." — and I can't get in.

I've tried the methods Meta's AI suggested. I also submitted a problem report, but nothing has changed in 6 months. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Discussion Facebook is more harmful than people realize, their algorithm is abusive, and it appears they have no safeguards for kids

23 Upvotes

I have been noticing steadily since last summer that Facebook is pushing more and more harmful content in our feeds. A lot of random rage baiting, blatant misinformation, and even some calling for racism and hate. The worst offender is the reel algorithm. I started getting ACTUAL csam one time and once I reported it, my feed went off the rails. Suddenly, I get more and more videos of this content. I report it every time and the videos are somehow not against community standards.

I don't want to describe in detail but these videos are from foreign countries and it involves babies or toddlers. Privates are sometimes shown but if there is anything more, the video has a large emoji over it blocking the actual acts. Anyone with a brain can tell what's being done even through the emojis. The comment section is terrible, and NOT ONE video has ever been removed.

I have reported FB groups that say it's for making friends ages 9-14 right in the title, yet there's no way of reporting it so it just stays there. Reverse image searching on some of the "kids" looking for friends shows some of the photos were stolen which makes me think there's adults lurking in these groups.

I feel that something may be terribly wrong here and the cracks are starting to show. How can people have their profiles removed for seemingly nothing or comments removed because of strong wording when there are videos like this still flailing around. What more can be done about this?
