The same thing is happening to end users, the consumers that they maybe want seeing those ads. Random, totally out of the blue bans on Meta platforms for no rhyme or reason. It's all over reddit:

- realusername 8mo agoIt's almost impossible to create a new Facebook account nowadays and I wonder if that's one of the cause of the decline of Facebook
- Barbing 8mo agoI wonder if they ever had enough of the California Attorney General on them (after people posted guides on how to seek resolution through that channel) btw saw recommendations to use a VPN to be able to use the complaint form… overall, wonder how much Meta cost taxpayers there (maybe they make up for it?)
- jwrallie 8mo agoIt has been happening in other platforms too. I had a tough time creating a new LinkedIn account after deleting mine around 10 years ago. At one point one day in the new account I got banned, then I submitted my ID and got in only to be banned again within the same timespan. All the same accusations that the profile information I submitted was not “correct”, translation: I was not me according to someone else’s idea of what being me is, even though I was able to show them a proper ID. I only got it working stable after finding an obscure email on Reddit and re-sending my ID to a completely different confirmation system.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 8mo agoI wasn't going to send my driver's license to some overseas contractor... I eventually hunted down a form for submitting a notarized statement proving who I was. It's more than a bit ridiculous.
- KellyCriterion 8mo agoHow do they expect future growth then? In general, its really stunning that Meta stock price grew that much since 2012 - when they IPO'd in 2012, I thought i will be a "cheap stock" around 50 - 70 USD.
- cyanydeez 8mo agoFacebook appears to want go turn your grandparents into AIs and sell them back yo you when they die.
- npodbielski 8mo agoOh then I guess it is good that they dead already. And they never had an account. So I am safe.
- cyanydeez 8mo agoYes, but society rwquires everyone to be safe.
- Maxious 8mo agonice username... I was going to say, we warned about this with the google+ real name policy "nymwars" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymwars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymwars and the cloudflare AI bot blocking that blocks humans Yes it's potentially good for reducing spam and terribly good for collecting personal information for advertisers. Both at the expense of making social networks inaccessible to real people.
