Klamath Falls— Facebook needs to learn that Without Us, there is No Facebook income from ads on Facebook. We posters are their bread and butter and the sooner they start leaning it the better for all concerned.

People are getting tired of their rules, that they change so often. Worse than having a flat tire. Such as restricting someone for a post created by someone else who now all of sudden is the person who gets blamed for it after the distribution of content rated false by independent fact-checkers. Instead of going to the source where the post began, Facebook lays blame on the person who shared it, thinking it was easier to blame and hold the person who shared it at fault. By adding restrictions onto their accounts without due process and that should be illegal in a court of law.

Facebook is not a court of law, where Facebook becomes the judge and jury by placing restrictions without due process. Even, if Facebook happens to be a private company with their own set of Community Standards.

And then not let the person see what it was that was found false and go against the Community Standards by the so-called independent fact-checkers by placing a restriction on that account without due process. Is not only unfair, but unethical. Recently and repeatedly posted false information as determined by independent third-party fact-checkers or certain expert organizations that was shared and Facebook did not take the time to go to the source and remove or restrict them. But instead, choses to blame those who shared it thinking it was ok to do so since it was already shared on Facebook by the source who posted it in the first place.

No! Facebook instead just restricts anyone who shared it on their platform. So instead of going after the source, Facebook takes the easy way out and restricts all who shared the post in question the distribution of content rated false by independent fact-checkers.

This is one sure way for Facebook to not ONLY lose accounts; but in the end lose ad revenue as people begin leaving Facebook in droves. Because without content from posters Facebook will not be generating an income from the content posters post. Especially when Facebook blames a poster for the content started from another poster where the distribution of content was rated false by independent fact-checkers. So instead of going to the source where the content came from, blame everyone else in-between instead.

And if that model continues Facebook will be a thing of the past, just like myspace.com MySpace went from the most visited website in the world in 2006 to losing 10 million unique users in just one month in 2011. Is that the future of Facebook?

It seems it might be, sooner, than later if Facebook doesn't change its argonaut ways of doing business and how it treats its members.
