My latest trip to Weirdo-land, I mean my Facebook page, where I can actually view more than the tiny tid bits I get to see on my phone but from a real computer where I can see all the ads etc... there was a new window on the right hand side that said something like, "These are people your friends are following. or who you may know or something like that"
Now on EVERY other social media platform you simply click to add that person. It is how you grow.
And in this circumstance, the person happened to be a sister of a friend. Do I know her personally?. Sort of. Can I recite her social security number or her 3 kids names? No.
I mean, if you told her who I was, she would be like "Oh, yeah I kinda remember her."
But when I click on the 'friend' button a huge window pops up BORDERED IN RED, that says, unless I know this member PERSONALLY (their caps, not mine), my attempt to friend her will be considered SPAM and I could be suspended.
Um... seriously? Am I like warned now or something? Is this like the first of three strikes against me that can cause me to shut out of here forever?... Facebook is the one that suggested I should follow her! Seriously. Idiots.
Are you the social media platform that is so obsessed with making money that you will sell every scrap of my personal information to the highest bidder or are you the platform that will ex-communicate me for daring to reach out to the sister of a friend.
Seriously. #PickOne
So, I am sorry if I have offended any FB fans, but really...
