I'm Outraged!

I don't do Facebook. I don't like their (lack of) privacy policy, and I don't like anything else about them either. Well this morning I was talking to a friend in Mass. whom I haven't seen in years and he told me he just commented on my business' Facebook page. I looked it up and sure enough, there is a facebook page with the name and address of my business! Down in the corner there was this: "This Page is automatically generated based on what Facebook users are interested in, and not affiliated with or endorsed by anyone associated with the topic."

 

So in other words, they got the name of my business out of the online phone directories (I can thell because they put a "The" in front of the name and that is not right) and took it upon themselves to make a page. I can't even access most of what's on there without logging in and I can't log in because I've never signed up.

 

There ought to be a law against this!!!! :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

You could contact Facebook and ask them to remove the page. Do you have anyone close to you who is signed up to Facebook? If so you may want to have them log in for you so you can see what is there. I know I would want to see what is there.  Personally I think Facebook doing that without your knowledge is creepy but if the page has accurate info you might want to keep it for free advertising.

I never agreed to their terms of service. How can they skip over that part?

 

I just filed a complaint with the FTC. I also contacted NPR to see if they want to do a story about it. I'm sure I'm not the only business owner who does not want anything to do with Facebook. And I'm sure Facebook has put up pages on them too.

 

The info they have on my business is WRONG. All I sell is musical instruments, but they claim I also sell CDs and DVDs.

 

This CAN'T be legal! Yesterday I was outraged but today I am beyond outraged!! I'm downright @&$%#$!!!!!!

      Duodenum biopsy result confusion

      By jamiet06 · Posted

      Hello, I hope I am posting this in the correct space, so apologies if not! After my last two endoscopies (2019 and 2024), I received the following comment in my report: Duodenal biopsy: Duodenal mucosa with mild intra-epithelial lymphocytosis in the presence of normal villous architecture. Comment: Findings are non-specific. They can be seen in coeliac disease, peptic or medication induced injury and H.pylori infection among others. Correlation with clinical findings and results of serological studies is recommended. I didn't have an ulcer and crohns disease was not mentioned to me. For the past few years I have had on and off digestive issues (gas, mild diarrhea, lower abdominal bloating). Just recently I went to my GP and he stated it was probably all related to IBS, however, I forgot to mention this statement from my endoscopy report. Does this sound like it is pointing towards celiacs? I am a 52 year old male. Any advice would be awesome. Thank you

      DR1-DQ5 neurological symptoms

      By Murilo P · Posted

      It has been a while and I would like to post an update. The hallucinations are completely gone. Thanks to one bottle of B1 as benfotiamine and one of B3 as niacin, both taken together. I will buy more. The other symptoms are still being treated. Now I can already affirm that the symptoms are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yet I do have hopes that we will achieve the remission of BPD symptoms over the next couple of years. I think her issues come from this chain of events: Nutritional deficiencies at birth, due to being twin and having low birth weight. Low levels of Omega-3 during pregnancy and first years resulting in weak HPA axis development (predisposition for BPD). Consumption of gluten before age of 2 leading to predisposition for gluten sensitivity as adult Excessive consumption of gluten and sugar as an adult, leading to dysregulation of microbiome. Two severe gut infections due to lack of healthy bacteria, followed by hospitalization and use of antibiotics Poor diet after using antibiotics, worsening even more the gut health and leading to anorexia nervosa. Worsening of gluten sensitivity, then resulting in bouts of anxiety and depression, especially if added with sugar. Different forms of therapy haven't shown effectiveness yet, but I think it's because the issues must be treated with nutrients first, so we are taking that more seriously now and focusing on nutrients that are especially easy to digest and absorb. She still has intense gluten sensitivity, but I have hopes that this can go away after the body is completely re-nourished with the missing nutrients and then gets a few years to recover. Notes: The hallucinations begun after we tried Ayahuasca low dosage. I guess it was the result of a bad combination: "DR1 genes + B1 deficiency + Ayahuasca". I'd guess that would not have happened if it wasn't for the vitamin deficiencies. She has been fully in non-gluten diet, except for accidents that happen sometimes due to her food compulsion. I have been giving more importance to Omega-3, which is very effective in emotional regulation for BPD. Recently bought special products from Omnilife which use special "micelles" to promote quick absorption close to 100% rate. - "Micelles are tiny, spherical particles formed when amphiphilic molecules, like those in soap, aggregate in a liquid, typically water." Currently buying special whey protein which is hydrolyzed (easy to digest). I think we have underestimated the importance of proteins, which is not usually refereed as part of mental health treatment. She is pregnant again, but doing well. 🙂 Thanks for all of the help!

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      Hi, My six year old has been complaining of tingling in the legs off late. This used to be pretty common thing with her pre-diagnosis and a couple of weeks after the diagnosis as well. And now it is back again. I am not sure if it's a glutening symptom, or she could be deficient in something. I got her Pure Encapsulations' multivitamin capsule, which she is ok taking, but she began reacting to cellulose in the capsule. I don't know if I can just break the capsule and she could drink it in a smoothie. I haven't tried that yet, so do not know whether it'll be palatable to her.  If any of you know of a CGF multivitamin that do not contain any gums and are preferably free of citric acid, I'd greatly appreciate. Thank you.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.
