Some differences:
AFAIK Apple will never lock me out of my App Store purchases and demand to see my passport
Microsoft won't take away the Xbox games I purchased if I use a pseudonym on LinkedIn or post Hacktoberfest spam on github
Steam won't ban me if I have separate accounts for work and personal use
etc
If having a Facebook account was less onerous and didn't come with as much overhead (for example, FB has banned people for making an account and not using the social features) I think people would be less up in arms
- dorkinspace 6y agoThis is the problem entirely. If I could create a throw away FB account to use for my VR devices and games, there would be no issue for me.
- m463 6y agoCan you create throwaway facebook accounts? I've always head stories of people doing this then something happens and they are closed.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoit's a violation of the FB TOS
- maneesh 6y agoAmazon did this because I bought a bunch of gift cards. They permanently blocked my account, I lost all my audible credits and Kindle books. No appeal, nothing. What can I do?

- ValentineC 6y ago> Amazon did this because I bought a bunch of gift cards. What kind of gift cards were you buying? The Visa/Mastercard ones?
- maneesh 6y agoAmazon gift certificates. Like 10 at a time. They didn’t go through and I called in and gave verification that the transaction was me. They approved it. It was me. Then they emailed saying that my account was accessed by unauthorized party and killed the account. Told me to open a new one.
