Facebook to Adopt Democratic Policy
Facebook plans to add a new service that will allow users to join open forums where they can post their feedbacks and comments that will help the online community to improve its service to members.
In an interview, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said the company is aiming to provide the most interactive tools for people that will allow them to give their comments to every new features Facebook is planning to implement, adding that this decision is a landmark event in the field of social networking.
Facebook said the new democratic policy has been decided by the company because users’ private lives are involved which means that they should be given enough voice to express their thoughts and ideas.
Earlier, the world’s biggest social site received criticism from its members following its implementation of new services and features perceived by others to violate their own privacy.
“Because people have the sense of ownership over their profile accounts, it is necessary for companies like us to implement a new model of governance”, Zuckerberg said.
In 2007, thousands of Facebook members protested over the social site’s new policy which allows businesses to track consumer behavior including their online purchases and other activities. Allowing businesses to know the online behavior of users, according to critics, violates the initial privacy policy of Facebook.
After few months of protests, Facebook removed the software Beacon that tracked the online consumer behavior.
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg said that Facebook “does not own the user data” which means that members should be the one to decide how to use such information. He also added that they (Facebook) felt bad after realizing they have offended many of their members.

“The Dark Side of Facebook AKA “Disgracebook,” or “Facebooks Complete Lack of Customer Service”
In my humble opinion on February 28, (unknown year?) Mark Zuckerber Facebook gave you a slick bit of corporate propaganda because as of June 26, 2009 Facebook has NOT created an on line forum for members to “post their feedbacks and comments that will help the on line community to improve its service to members.” As a matter of fact Facebook is doing exactly the the opposite of creating an on line forum. At this time Facebook ruthlessly, relentlessly, and remorselessly walks all over its members with hob nailed polices of culling members from membership for unspecified unknown reasons and then accuses the permanently disabled without recourse members as “possibly” being guilty of spamming or “possibly” being guilty of harassing other members because of asking to many members to be friends at an unspecified rate. Facebook goes on to disable accounts that have to many friends, belongs to many groups, pokes to many unknown times, sends to many email messages and on and on and on. What Facebook says it is going to do and what “Disgracebook”does is two exactly different things!
The unaired dark side of Facebook, or should I call it “Disgracebook” because of the extremely poor disgraceful way Facebook treats its members. The reason I say the unaired dark side of Facebook is I have yet to see anything announced on the prime time major news outlets about the disgraceful practices Facebook uses on its members. The Internet is bursting at its seems with unhappy disabled Facebook members who have posted thousands of complaints everywhere it is possible to post complaints about Facebooks complete lack of customer service and mean spirited disregard for concerns, questions and feedback from members and former members.
On Mark Zuckerber’s, the founder of Facebook, Facebook Fan Page Mark states “I’m trying to make the world a more open place by helping people connect and share.” I am glad Mark says he is “trying etc.” because, in my opinion, he certainly has NOT accomplished his mission. Facebook is one of the most closed undemocratic uncaring unsocial business operations since the formation of the Gestapo. Facebook operates carte blanche without regard of a due process of rights for members Facebook deems unworthy to be members of its social network service and therefore, disables their account. Facebook justifies its policy and actions under the euphemism of “protecting members” from “repeated actions that could be construed as spam,” and from anything Facebook makes up as a threat to its security. Facebook is an omnipotent uncaring broadly defined automated bureaucratic security service mechanism with unpublished specific rules that are violated without knowing it. If this is not Gestapo like policy, I guess I do not know what it is because it certainly is un-American to say the least!
Furthermore, in my opinion Facebook is not a social network service. When joining Facebook you are, in reality, joining a money making “computer program” complete with automated responders but is set up to look like a social network service operated by real people. Is it any wonder Facebook members are treated with total disregard for being feeling thinking real people? I have yet to know of a computer program that is able to feel and or to reason. When someone calls Facebook you are treated rudely and crassly informed to use their computerized automated services which do not reply when used or quickly transferred to an automated answering service to which there is no reply.
I strongly urge anyone interested to please research what I am informing you of because I assure you the situation I have explained is the truth and nothing but the truth so help me God. Until the media and or business community and elected officials takes notice of and makes public “Disgracebooks” inhuman treatment of people Mark Zuckerberg and his staff and money making computer program will continue to fill up trenches behind Disgracebooks California headquarters with unworthy disabled members.
One final comment. If Disgracebook is treating its foreign members as poorly as it treats its domestic members Disgracebook is not only giving itself a black eye it is giving the United States of America a black eye. Is there anyone out there who cares enough to tell the world about Facebooks dark side and will hopefully help Facebook to become a user friendly Internet social service it claims to be?
