Facebook Friends Can Now Be Bought in uSocial
World’s most popular social networking site Facebook over the weekend said that it is “not happy” with the launch of an Australian marketing company that sells Facebook friends in bulk.
In a statement, Facebook spokesperson Barry Schnitt directly expressed disappointment over the launch of a new marketing service company called uSocial, which sells Facebook friends by their thousands, saying that the process goes against the social networking site’s policies since it makes it less secured.
“Sending out and giving away privacy to your Facebook account is unacceptable and it goes against the company policies,” Schnitt said in the statement.
Schnitt said that they are now conducting probe on issue, saying that members’ account will automatically be deleted if they were found “guilty” of sharing their passwords with third parties.
But uSocial founder, 24-year-old Leon Hill, said that there nothing wrong with the program, adding that the service that they offer is mostly meant for people and businesses who want to expand their friends list without the burden of time.
He said that people can save energy and time by just simple buying themselves a few thousands of friends compared to the traditional and old-fahioned way of sending friend requests.
Hill said that people can now have an instant network of friends, in their thousands, for a few hundred bucks. He said that for 1, 000 new friends, a person will only have to pay $200 while the maximum allowable friends (5, 000 Facebook friends) would only costs a business company some $727.
The service was launched early this week and would run through mid-September in a promotional rate of $654.30 for the maximum number of friends.
uSocial said that the service will help companies to gather fans in a faster and more affordable manner.
But Schinitt stressed that uSocial’s actions detracts Facebooks’ effort to promote culture of authenticity.
