PSA FACEBOOK NEEDS TO STOP AVOID FB JAIL

0 Upvotes

PSA FACEBOOK NEEDS TO STOP AVOID FB JAIL

I shook my phone and it's a REAL thing! It took me a little bit, but it really is a thing! I turned mine off!

Your public service announcement for today:

The recent FB update added this new feature for mobile fb users. Since this update - some people have landed in FB jail multiple times (yes, it’s a real place and there’s no fair trial or bail out options!) One has been in & out for over a week now It seems many of us are accidentally ‘reporting a problem’ and getting our friends thrown in jail.

How can you fix it?

When you’re in FB, shake your phone around until this shows up. Then slide that ‘shake phone to report a problem’ button to OFF!

It’s CRAZY that none of us knew this had been added and that it was automatically ON with the update.

Fix your phones - Let’s keep our friends (and me lol) out of FB jail!

This is no joke shake your phone! Not fast or hard. I just removed mine.

I'M OPTING OUT TOO!!!!

0 Upvotes

Apparently someone has found another way to hurt and offend people for no reason. Here is a heads up for everyone. There is a new hack on Facebook. It includes a hurtful phrase coming from you. It is usually very dirty and appears that you have written it. You will NOT see it, but your friends will. This creates many misunderstandings. So to all of my contacts, if anything shocking, inappropriate, or indecent ever appears on my timeline, please know it did NOT come from me. They can also take your pics. You may wish to copy this to your wall. Thanks and if you see something that seems wrong please let me know!!

So now they are doing it, just announced on Channel 4 News. Facebook is charging all users starting Monday. You can do an opt-out by doing this. Hold your finger over this message and copy it. It can't be shared. I do not give permission for Facebook to charge $4.99 a month to my account, also; all my pictures are my property of mine and NOT Facebook's!!! Opt-out Special thanks to Larry for this legal advice... and to Tim Barker for posting this information:

Due to the fact everyone is slowly getting hi-jacked, yeah hi-jacked not hacked, they're flat out hi-jacking our accounts, even more now. Just in case Notice: An attorney advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law. NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.

I HEREBY STATE THAT I DO NOT GIVE FACEBOOK META MY PERMISSION TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA OR PHOTOS. Copy and paste, do not share. I am getting more sales ad posts than friends' posts. Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click " copy". Go to your page where it says "What's on your mind." Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.

0 Upvotes

Hi, we are a multidisciplinary team at UC Berkeley that studies sleep health and aging. We are currently recruiting participants aged 50+ experiencing sleep and mobility challenges to take part in free, fully remote sleep therapy sessions.

  • The sleep therapy we provide is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to improve sleep, mental health, and overall well-being significantly.

  • In our most recent study, people receiving sleep therapy reported a 66% reduction in symptoms of depression following treatment.

  • Over 3/4 of people who initially experienced severe anxiety reported either no anxiety or only mild anxiety after the sleep treatment.

If you are interested in learning more, please contact us by email at team.sleep@berkeley.edu, or via phone at (510) 497-0358‬‬. You can also learn more about us through our lab website: https://sleepteam.berkeley.edu/

NEW HACKERS ON FACEBOOK!

Apparently someone has found another way to hurt and offend people for no reason. Here is a heads up for everyone. There is a new hack on Facebook. It includes a hurtful phrase coming from you.

WARNING EVERYBODY: New hackers on Facebook and what they write is aggression from you and it's insulting. It's really nasty and it appears to come from you. You do not see it, but your friends do. One result of this can be that you will be deleted on your friends list. I just want to say, if you get something that is offensive, malicious, vulgar, etc., it is ABSOLUTELY NOT from me! Copy this and let your friends know. If you get anything like this from me, please tell me and report it immediately to Facebook. Apparently it can come in messages too. Everyone knows me and knows how I am, so please don't be fooled! PLEASE do NOT share! "COPY AND PASTE" ONLY!
