I fall into a 3rd category: I used to log into FB once a month or so to check in. For some reason, they decided I was a fake account (despite working for them for 4.5 years) and asked for my ID. The resolution on my 10-year-old MBP was too low for FB's contractors so they rejected my ID 3 times and I seem to now be locked out of my account indefinitely. Definitely in the top 10 best thing to ever happen to me.

Given how rarely you were using it before, I'm surprised you rate the impact so highly - how come?

    Bingo. I'm done. It's over. No matter how much I want to hop on and rage about the current issue of the day, I just can't and it's not worth pinging my former teammates there for the Nth time trying to fix it.

  Eh, I'd be more surprised/concerned if the Facebook user table had a special flag for whether someone was or ever had been an employee.

    hmm, don't they require you to use your personal facebook account to log into their facebook for work system as an employee? ( Am I just misremembering? )

    That kind of flag can be useful to let test users and internal dev accounts get specific unreleased features or behaviors. There are other ways to deal with specific users, but flagging accounts doesn't seem outlandish to me.

    Facebook requires employees to provide their personal account, which will be used throughout the work.

I was locked out of amazon almost a year ago because of some security issue blah blah!!! I never tried to unlock the account and I am OK living in a world where I don't need to deal with that monster!

  You wait for a week for items to get delivered and pay for expedited shipping each time? What a wonderful world!
