We should learn to create our own, where we have absolute control.

Some people built strong businesses around Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, only to wake up one day to realize they have been banned with no option to recover.

In China, they don't use Google, restricted access to Facebook and Instagram, yet they are successful.

Lets build and grow our own.

This policy is cool for people who just wake up every morning to use abusive words on fellow humans

It happened to me too,someone called me a fool and I replied by telling him “look how fat and unhealthy you are” and they restricted me that’s how unfair they are

Honestly, you people never cease to amaze me. You mean all the way you insult one another here is happening on Facebook too?
Please learn to report who insults you instead of going into the mud with such folks. Honestly, you deserve the ban for body shaming the person and that's why most of you guys have poor mental health.

Facebook abi meta aint your mate! Fb nobi nl

My own Dem no dey count am ...I remember the last time I posted only my face for Facebook I received two months ban say I posted nudity ...how my face resemble nude I no still know

KanoFirstSon:
Very good for you. U must have been insulting pple on Facebook before this one happened. Na developers way,u pple are so uncouth and abusive on most social media like Facebook and Nairaland. Check most names from abusive comments na mostly developers boys

I'm telling you brother. Facebook noticed that nairaland bitter people are shifting down to their platform. Serves you right.


Lemme go and look at op posts on Facebook I'm sure , I won't be disappointed

At this age people are still doing facebook. Face book is just for children not adults .

Better look for better things to do.

We are watin for Trump's app to come alive .

Meta dint just ban the dude
Someone reported him...with note backup

He got a ban
End of the case

Op think say Facebook be like nairaland were u talk anyhow..oga face ur warrant!!!

Smartjeezy:
I'm leaving that Facebook soon because they are very stupid. I was blocked for talking to my brother in a comment section. Facebook has blocked me like six times this year alone.

and go where? Instagram, that olosho app. Unless a better alternative springs up in the future Facebook is still king.

I just wrote clown in a friend's post about 20mins ago. I don go delete am now. I no fit shout.

Nawa... It's seem their Bot no get just get joy.
But seriously it's should be able to differentiate a joke from a threat

Hear this and have peace of mind, FACEBOOK (META) don't want Africans on their platforms ever again, especially Nigerians. They can't take the drastic move like some dating apps or or chat apps like Wechat, but they will gradually frustrate us till we run away. To use page na wahala, buy and sell na wahala.

NB: Clown is an abusive word and it goes against their terms. Most of us Nigerians don't read those shit, hence we always cry foowl.. Shortcut will not kill us lol..

It happens all over the world.
Facebook is not discriminating against any African/Nigerian.

Go and check comments section of Mark Zuckerberg's posts, you'll see how people are begging and reacting about restrictions and banning, even accounts terminations.

Na why most people no dey use Facebook. The restrictions and banning is worse than someone under authoritarian rule.

It is good thing that, they have not extended this their madness to WhatsApp.
Na dem sabi.

NB: Freedom of speach is a fundamental human rights all over the world but the way, Facebook censors your written words on their platform is terrible. The want everyone to join their "woke syndrome".

Kilotat:
Facebook is harvesting everything about you.
I left that place 1 year ago and am still alive and solid. Please check my Signature

Kudos.can u lend me the aza pls?

Start talking back in your native language. They won't understand it.

I have similar issues! My account has been blocked since 21 days now.. .

Did my account get blocked because I don't post, like or comments on people's post Lol.

FB I abandon years ago

This is FALSE

Facebook is making a lot of money from Nigeria's advertisers. Besides, Nigerians contribute significantly to Facebook being the biggest social media platform on the internet.

Stop spreading falsehood

Facebook has never ban me since 2012 I opened my account

I wouldn't ever want to lose my 9 years old FB account to hackers for many reasons. Please I use Two-Factor Authentication, but is there any other strong FB security I can use

Lend me d aza for december pls

Laughnow419:
Who is not scared of commenting with Facebook's way of restricting accounts.
The thing is that Facebook has no competitor at the moment. When they ban u, u can't write to them unlike YouTube. Even Nairaland has a mail supermods where you can explain yourself out. But Facebook you just have to swallow the ban for the 30 days period. I wish Seun can start doing adverts and upgrading this nairaland with features like posting videos, deleting threads, making the follow button important etc. Mehn who is not tired of Facebook right now.

Someone was banned for only using the word clown. I have been banned on Facebook unfairly countless times if there was a section to write back it wouldn't have been. If Facebook bans u you cant express yourself.

Shebi na u Dem block...e no concern me...

Just obey the rules!

You really think your comment was fair? That was an obnoxious comment, body shaming. Shows the very poorest of the poor standards we have in Nigeria

juniorstar:
Is that why ppl keep asking for who will sell old Facebook account. Cos I have seen it countless times on nairaland. Are old accounts immune to ban?

ve been using mine since 2013, someone offered me 50k I refused. Facebook account is as valuable as diamond well unless in the future another app takes over and I doubt it will be in the gen coz mark will instantly buy them out.
