Written by It has affected a lot of businesses and personal accounts in Facebook. It aims to eliminate spamming in one of the most famous social networking site. Sounds good, but did the Facebook Ban Bot really do its job?
Yes, it helped lessen if not eradicate spamming within the site. It went against poor content and unethical behavior. It is really a great goal, to keep the users happy. However, it also affected legitimate online businesses and Faceboook Developers. It also affected a lot of good content. There have been accounts and applications that were banned though they were not really spammers. There are personal accounts that suddenly lost their photos without any notice.
This is almost the same with the Google Panda issues, when Google had algorithmic changes to take care of the spammy sites that have poor or duplicate content. It also affected the legitimate online businesses, and Google really had tons of complaints about it.
It is not easy to be able to ban spammers or spammy sites without affecting the legitimate ones. It is a good thing that Facebook has taken its step to eradicate spams. If you have been affected by the Facebook Ban Bot, you may inform Facebook about it for some consideration.
Moreover, it is also sad to read about legit online businesses and developers being badly affected by this move to prevent spamming. But then, spamming has not been allowed within the site as stated in its Terms and Conditions. Hope there could be a way for these legitimates to be spared from the Ban Bot.
What more can we say? Since this is out of our control, let us just hope that the issues will be fixed and that the process of banning will improve. Well, what did they do it for? To make Facebook users, like us, happier, right?
What can we do? Report any violent reaction or any other issues related to it to Facebook. Then, prevent spamming and posting unethical or poor content. Does it sound better now?
