Facebook getting out of hand

Now I'm normally not really bothered with FaceBook. I have some friends on there and it just works. Lately though I am so sick and tired of the crap they are pulling.

This post is for all the people out there who are really hating the way facebook is going. I would have done a nice bulleted list of points in complaint on FaceBook itself.. but *sarcasm* Oh wait!

"I can't now make any formatting using line returns with my replys to messages on Facebook!".

*ed. Thought this was systemic but just seems to be with replies. I can see possibly why (for text replies) but FFS only limit me if I choose a text reply.

This is the kind of "crap" FaceBook have been pulling lately changing what was good about FaceBook into whats good for FaceBook.

Well WE (the users) are good for FaceBook, so lets Campaign to have them stop f**king around with stuff that works and also to stop trying to suppress firstly our freedom of expression, secondly our choice for privacy, thirdly who and how we interact with and finally not abusing whatever we post in whatever whim way it takes them.

So, what am I talking about? (for anyone whos not really been using FaceBook or is new to it).

Well, here is a list of things FaceBook has done reciently:

• Made all profiles Public by Default without overly alerting the FaceBook users that this is the case (so you suddenly find yourself appearing on search engines with a whole list of your friends for the spammers to consume and enjoy).



• Disabling ability to post line-returns in messages replies (and posts in general, though not universally it seems).



• Preventing the creation of Groups without others of your friends as members.



• Automatically culling your friends so you only see news from friends you interact with on a regular basis (again choosing for you who are your friends).



• Makeing dumb and sometimes offensive suggestions as to who your friends are



• Assuming if your status is single you want to see 50 adverts for Dating ever time you logon (though to be fair they've always done this, but since I'm complaining lol).



• Changing the privacy agreement on an ongoing incremental basis to increase how much they can do with your own stuff (fortunately someone spotted the liberty taking option on your uploaded photographs and it got changed).

If anyone else finds this and agrees (or even disgrees) please post me some comments! =)
