Suspended Facebook account: a surreal decision?

Thank you for your comment.

You demonstrate obvious insight and pragmatism. You rightly mention the General Data Protection Regulation, which, in the case of (a)social networks, is at best relative, and that's an understatement. Beyond the evidently concrete, aggressive, and insidious mercantile aspect, I see it as a vector for mass manipulation of a formidable effectiveness. We can detect some positive aspects, fortunately, but the risks regarding variable confidentiality are very real. Each person has their choices, as long as they are prepared to face the consequences. (A)social networks? Too much of it is hardly enough...

You are repeating yourself and the question isn't even there.

For my part, I see no interest in social networks and I fully stand by my thought, I do not use them.

Those who do the opposite want to be convinced that a system which is tentacular and free, at least on a direct level, would offer any persistence of data and any support and they scream like stuck pigs when their professional use is interrupted; personally, one can live more easily without it.

The system is unreliable and it is entirely at the mercy of Facebook's arbitrary decisions with no recourse, and as is regularly illustrated, the rest is just hot air, but one must be ready to accept the consequences; you cannot contest the use of a free service, you know this when you sign up.

Hello,

One cannot contest the use of a free service, one knows this when signing up.

Free yes and no, whether it's Facebook or something else, you have to subscribe to a plan and pay to have internet.

And I won't even mention the cost of electricity and the price to pay for the hardware, whether it's for a PC or a phone.

Free has been dead for a very long time.

Hello,

You're playing with words and you know it, almost everyone has an electricity subscription and nowadays also internet access, which will not cost more or less regardless of the sites they connect to.

There isn't a category of sub-citizens who are perfectly fine having an internet subscription to watch TV, possibly make phone calls, connect to their bank, do their shopping, or handle administrative tasks online... without ever visiting a forum and even less a social network.

The Facebook service itself is free in exchange for the profits that Meta derives from it; no contract binds it to ensure its sustainability or support, unlike for example a software I would have purchased or a paid online service site where the contract I enter stipulates that I am entitled to certain support in exchange for my fees.
