Facebook really need to allow more control over who can interact with peoples profiles. We used to have options that would not allow people who weren't on your friends list to tag you. Now they only give you the option to "Review" what you are tagged in. You can also control who sees tagged content. Why make this so complex? If you literally just gave us the option to turn off tagging for non-friends you it would solve so many problems. Especially the new T-Shirt scams going on with every page on Facebook with over 5k followers.
This is a legitimate concern and needs to be addressed by Facebook!
Facebook is not shutting these profiles down because they pay for advertising and bring in money from it. So Facebook wont do anything to stop it.
As users of Facebook its our responsibility to let Facebook know how we feels, and to let them know we want these options back to stop all the profile spam, cloning, and hacking!
If you would please share this post it would be greatly appreciated! We really need to do something about this. As a musician I am getting 10 to 15 posts a day on my Business page trying to sell T-Shirts from a profile that's me. Its taking time away from my day where I can be doing other things. I'm about to just get rid of Facebook and Instagram all together as this problem is rampant for over a year now and Facebook does nothing about it!!
People are getting scammed by these companies, and its Facebook fault it happens! It is possible to take legal action against Facebook, but going that route is expensive.
Below I have tagged a bunch of Facebook staff. If we share this enough, they WILL see it. We need to share this as much as possible. This is not some chain letter, this is a cry for help. So lets do what we can to make sure Facebook sees it!!
We need to demand Facebook make these changes.
