Facebook automatically posted my business without my knowledge

Tricky business

Don't use Facebook.

it is tricky.

I've been wondering how solicitors have been getting my phone number and now I know. thanks facebook, bastards.

still there are others, like those find-people companies that connect all the information about people and consolidate it in one place.

no going off grid. ever.

My boss was looking into a Web page for his auto repair shop. I wasn't sure if he had a FB page so I searched FB for the business. Sure enough, without his knowledge, there was a simple page with the business name and phone number. I thought it very strange that they had done this on their own.

Sue them for false advertising!

I had the same thing happen.

sue them.

There is nothing on Facebook about my company. We do not use social media as a form of advertising. We have a website but it strictly describes our past and ongoing projects to future customers with no reference to Facebook or any other social media.

Exactly why I don't use it anymore. .and when I did, I refused to give them my phone number or link it with my email....I'm done with that nonsense.

are you registered and pay taxes?

I suppose like the Yellow Pages could collect this information and publish it, there is some law FB is following for open source information.

and with the phone company you had to call them and pay extra to be unlisted.

but this is a sign of what Snowden was working on. knowledge databases, datamining and consolidation of identities.

Good luck getting it taken down op.

I googled a similar problem and this was the answer.
Ass Holes. Like anyone has time to do this crap,

So there actually is a process Debbie to get a page removed or to take control of it. I was able to get through to Facebook through various means/connections to figure out what to do. I'm not sure how to create a ticket to start the process, but once you get that (it was created for me) the process looks something like this:

1. A copy of a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a current driver's license or a passport, of the individual signing the statement. See the different kinds of IDs we accept in the Help Center:

2. A notarized and signed statement from a person with sufficient knowledge and authority over this matter that includes all of the following:

a) A description of your relationship to the Page (and authority to request a change in the person(s) who manage the Page, as applicable);

b) The name of the current person(s) who manage the Page, as applicable;

c) The relationship of the above person(s) to the Page;

d) An explanation of your request, and whether there has been a termination of the employment and/or business relationship with the named person(s), as applicable;

e) All documentation supporting your request;

f) The Facebook account or email address associated with the Facebook account (or Timeline) that you wish to have added as the new admin of the Page; and

g) A declaration under penalty of perjury that the information you have provided is true and accurate (your statement must include this language).

Oh yeah.

thank you.
I didn't remove the page because I understand the system. they would just put it back up again... without my knowledge.

this is some fucking scam with Facebook. really.
my company was kept separate for legal purposes and now they've linked me to it.

so to remain private I have to beat the system and take my own precautions.

my company isn't anywhere except registered with the government.

Op I'm sorry but my point was don't have a personal or business Facebook page. Can't connect you then

But that is fucked up.

As soon as I went on facebook my phone asked me if they could access ALL my pictures and videos

Make sure all your settings are set to no and no

Love it from a distance

Even I cannot deny it's usefulness

but here's the thing.
I want a personal FB page.
I don't want my business connected to my personal life unless I control that. and I have good reason.
that's not for Facebook to choose, that is my choice. well... no longer.
that's hegemony.
hegemony leads to communism.

I don't need a solution. I'm pissed that this happened so easily and a prime example of how we are losing freedoms. how we as people are being consolidated into databases so rapidly and covertly. it's alarming in real time.

you okay'd the small print when you signed up.

well there's another thing.

intellectual property.
so if you take a photo of a celebrity and you want to sell it for 10k to the National Enquirer... you can't because FB owns it.

i find it annoying that i might like video on youtube only to find out some weeks later that twitter posted this to all and sundry. one was a flat earth video.

And I know what you look like, too.

Correct, according to them

Instigram does the same thing

If you delete a pic you can never load it again because

it's theirs now

I already told you what to do, sue them! If you can't figure out how to do that are any of your business's logo or names copyrighted? If so and they use any of them sue the shit out of them!!! If not copyright them...

yeah. I know.
I just hate doing damage control because of the fine print.

foolish Nikki.

they don't need any of that. they can discover it
all simply through IP address matching.

So the famous Steve Fail was having this same problem with people pretending to be him on jewbook and so he figured out that he was loosing money on his apocoliptic and biblical giant books so hating abd railing aginst fuckburg he...

just became a jewbook member also!

Awesome!

Jew lizard fuckburg wins and now controls steve fail's speach
