ABC Liberal Press Reports Facebook: Relationship Statuses Up by 200 Percent on Valentine’s Day. However the Liberal Press will not tell you. That there is a lot of fake liberals who are Pretending to be republicans on SUCKFACE (FB) liberals are two face lairs.
A scroll through this writers’ Facebook Newsfeed today showed lots of
pictures of flowers, chocolates and candies. There’s no doubt it’s Valentine’s Day. But sprinkled among those images were notifications that three friends were now “in a relationship.” Facebook Hash Tag #FacebookSucks According to Facebook,
Valentine’s Day is the biggest day of the year for letting the Facebook
world know about your relationship by adding a “relationship status” to
your Timeline. Facebook says that 200 percent more relationships
are added on February 14 compared to any other day of the year. Also,
more than 70 percent of those people who list their status on Facebook
first met on Valentine’s Day. RELATED: Facebook Vacation: 61 Percent of Users Take a Break from the Site What Facebook doesn’t have are stats about the most popular time or
day to go from being “in a relationship” to “no longer in a
relationship.” Virgin Mobile and OkCupid
dubbed yesterday, Feb. 13, “National Breakup Day.” They reported that
59 percent of people said that if they were going to break up with
someone, they would do so just before Valentine’s Day to save money. If that’s so, we’d think many people changed their statuses yesterday
or over the last few weeks, but we guess that when it comes to
declaring your love publicly on Facebook, it’s complicated.
Facebook profiles for non-humans, such as companies or pets, violate the social network's terms of service.
If
you're using a fake name on your Facebook account, maintaining a
personal profile for your beloved pet or have a second profile you use
just for logging in to other sites, you have one of the 83.09 million
fake accounts Facebook wants to disable. In an updated regulatory
filing released Wednesday, the social media company said that 8.7
percent of its 955 million monthly active users worldwide are actually
duplicate or false accounts. "On Facebook we have a really large commitment in general to finding and disabling false accounts," Facebook's chief security officer Joe Sullivan told CNN in a recent interview. "Our entire platform is based on people using their real identities."
Facebook inspires status envy So
what are those 83 million undesired accounts doing? They're a mixture
of innocent and malicious, and Facebook has divvied them up into three
categories: duplicate accounts, misclassified accounts and "undesirable"
accounts. Duplicate accounts make up 4.8% (45.8 million) of
Facebook's total active member tally. According to the network's terms
of service, users are not allowed to have more than one Facebook
personal account or make accounts on behalf of other people. Parents
creating Facebook accounts for their young kids are violating two rules,
since people under 13 are not allowed to have Facebook profiles. Misclassified
accounts are personal profiles that have been made for companies,
groups or pets. Those types of profiles (22.9 million) are allowed on
Facebook, but they need to be created as Pages. Facebook estimates that
2.4% of its active accounts are these non-human personal accounts. These
accounts can be converted into approved pages without losing information. Pets such as Boo, the self-anointed "world's cutest dog," are typically classified as Public Figures. The
third group is the smallest -- just 1.5% of all active accounts -- but
most troublesome. There are 14.3 million undesirable accounts that
Facebook believes have been created specifically for purposes that
violate the companies terms, like spamming. Face it, Facebook: Sometimes you suck "We
believe the percentage of accounts that are duplicate or false is
meaningfully lower in developed markets such as the United States or
Australia and higher in developing markets such as Indonesia and
Turkey," the company said in the filing. The tallies were based on an
internal sampling of accounts done by reviewers, and Facebook says the
numbers may represent the actual number. Facebook disables any
false accounts it finds, and while it wipes all the information
associated with the name from public view, it doesn't delete the account
from its servers "for safety and security" reasons. The disabled
account goes into a sort of Facebook limbo, where the owner of the
account can't get their hands on any of the content -- photos, posts,
videos -- not even by requesting a copy of the data, according to
Facebook. If Facebook does shut down your account, it says you can't create a new one without permission from the company. Complete coverage: Facebook
Facebook is taking preventative measures to make sure parents don't get up in arms about their children's privacy when Graph Search is rolled out to the public. The social network announced today in a blog post
that it's introducing specific Graph Search rules for teenagers. These
rules dictate that if an adult does a search that could display a
minor's location or age, the only results that will be returned are that
person's friends. If a minor is searching, only friends and friends of
friends also between the ages of 13 and 17 will be shown.
Facebook launched Graph Search in beta
in January. Seen as the social network's search tool, it offers users
new ways to uncover people, places, photos, and interests that have been
buried alive inside the social network. However, it also exposes a copious amount of personal data that members may not realize is available for public scrutiny. The company has been working to quell users' privacy fears over Graph Search. It has answered questions and offered insight
on how users can control their audience by adjusting their "likes,"
managing who can see friend and family lists, and how to review tagged
photos. In today's blog post, Facebook added a couple of other ways to control what will be shared on Graph Search:
Manage Your Activity Log: Activity log
makes it easy to see the things you've posted on Facebook, make changes
to the audience of past photos and other posts, and choose what appears
on your Timeline. We recently announced some new tools that make it
easier to take action on multiple photos, such as untagging them, or
requesting that they are removed with one click. If you are ever
concerned who can see content you have posted or shared on Facebook,
review it on your Activity Log. Review About Me: In addition
to your Activity Log, review the 'About' tab to check any basic info you
have shared with others on your profile, such as your current city,
your workplace, Pages you like, or your education. The same people who
can see this info on your profile can search for this info about you.
Check this section to make sure you are comfortable with the audience
you have chosen to share this information with.
Facebook's Graph Search is only
available to a small number of users right now but should roll out to
the general public later this year.
