In summary, he violated Facebook's terms of service by creating this page, and is accusing Facebook of "stealing" the page from him now that they've finally decided to enforce those terms.
Facebook requires affirmation that the page creator is "the official representative of this person, business, band or product and have permission to create this Page." He said himself he's just a fan.
I've been as annoyed as anyone with all of the recent privacy issues at Facebook, but it doesn't seem they did anything wrong here. Except maybe write up some Terms of Service that aren't fan-friendly.
- batasrki 16y agoHold up, there is something wrong here. Yes, he did set up the page as "just a fan". However, this page has been in existence for a few years and it's a page that got really popular. So, Facebook only "enforces" their ToS when there's enough popularity there to "monetize". It's bullshit and it needs to be publicized as much as possible.
- jarek 16y agoThat's not bullshit at all. Upload a music video of a little-known band to Youtube and nothing happens; band goes big, video gets 5 million views, is removed for copyright violation. Facebook can't possibly police every page, so they stick to policing those that are largest or fastest growing. Get popular enough and you'll enter the radar. It's unfair in a way; but it does make sense.
- dalore 16y agoFacebook checks pages once they hit a certain threshold of subscribers. Otherwise they would have to check every little page.
