Monday morning, with zero warning or valid cause, Facebook deleted 99% of the posted content on the two fan pages I’d been maintaining on that platform (one for more than a decade) in order to promote this blog’s content to my fans and friends. To add insult to injury, they also deleted every post on my personal page that linked to content on Worleygig.com, thus completely obliterating my creative presence on Facebook.
The reason given: these posts suddenly violate FB’s Terms of Service for Spam. Spam? Really? I call bullshit, but I have no method of recourse, because Facebook is not run by reasonable humans. So, I will be investigating more interesting (and likely way more effective) ways to promote Worleygig.com to those who wish to read it. Please feel free to follow me on Instagram @WorleyGigDotCom for more information going forward. Thanks, and Fuck Facebook.
I just tried sharing this link to Facebook and got the same error message. =(
Unbelievable. Yes, I just tried to share this on my DJ page and it wouldn’t “scrape” the URL. I’d like to think this was the beginning of the end for FB, but we’ve felt that before.
