Is there an appropriate way to call for Facebook to be more transparent about their data security and rentention policies? My concern here is not that Facebook wouldn't use SSL to collect an ID, but why they can demand the ID in the first place. Do they treat the ID (sensitive data) differently

These are all valid points from aestetix and I am questioning the legality and security of mining government and other personal identification documents by Facebook. Who guarantees their safety? With the identity theft on a rise, why I am forced to submit ID online? Who will guarantee my and my

If I knew Facebook will abuse me like this, I would have quit it long ago. However, with the war in Ukraine, we use Facebook to combat propaganda, plan and coordinate global protests, raise funds to support those who suffered from war. At this point, it will be detrimental not to be able to

Facebook has 1.19 billion monthly active users, making it the largest community on Earth. Activists will need to use it despite not agreeing or not being able to comply with their stupid real name policy. On Sat, Jul 4, 2015 at 11:24 AM, Al Billings alb...@openbuddha.com wrote: Maybe people

Obviously Facebook senior management wants to run it cheap, put their users at risk and put their staff into a position where they have to enforce for them discriminatory and possible illegal procedures and policies. How about investing like real companies do into an actual HelpDesk instead

Hello Hassan. The PGP encryption feature is used only for outbound email from Facebook. For example, password reset emails sent to you may be encrypted. I think in this case, submitting documentation over TLS is preferable to attaching it in a PGP-encrypted email both for security and usability.

We should change these rules. Facebook should review and improve their policies so they don't discriminate people and should invest into proper Help Desk with human beings reviewing the cases, not automatic blocking. I wonder what might help Facebook, a lawsuit in Canada maybe? On 2015-07-04
