Facebook and the death of networking

Facebook is the ultimate tool for social-networking.
Once Facebook grabbed hold as “the” place for everyone who’s anyone to come together, it became a vital means for animal rescuers to work on saving lives.
Until now.
Many Facebook users who rely heavily on Facebook for saving at risk dogs (in shelters, animal control facilities, lost, found, or in resuce organizations) are now being accused by Facebook of “posting spam or irrelevant content”.
Those targeted by Facebook have been banned for 15 days from posting anything at all.
Many who currently read and share this dog news column may be among those currently affected. If you haven’t been affected yet, your time is probably coming.
Whether Facebook is truly targeting animal rescues, or whether it is an automatic “technical” find by a Facebook program, is unknown.
What is known is that Facebook needs to be made aware of is how many lives are saved via Facebook networking postings.
Lost dogs are found – death row dogs are saved – long term fosters are finding homes…networking saves lives. It is neither irrelevant nor “spam”.
Please take a moment to write a note to the powers that be at Facebook to let them know that their current “disabling” of networking postings will cost lives.
Please thoughtfully let them know that animal rescuers rely upon Facebook as a vital tool. Facebook obviously receives funds from advertisers on the site – if all of the rescuers are banned – they will go away.
Thousands of current users will pack up and disappear if their networking capability is removed.
Please contact Facebook at: legal@facebook.com, info@facebook.com and/or press@facebook.com.
Please help them to understand how much good Facebook does in the arena of saving lives. The voiceless need the help of networking, or they will quietly die.
Ironically, a Facebook page is currently established for this purpose – “Facebook, don’t suspend our animal rescue accounts”. Please “like” the page to learn more.
Thank you.
