No More NakedJen On Facebook
Facebook obliterated Nakedjen.
Obliterated. Deleted. Made me disappear.
And they did it without any warning or even a simple email telling me that I had done something wrong.
My email to them asking what I might have done to cause such a brutal outcome was just met with an automatic reply telling me that I must be in violation of the TOS and to read it carefully.
Which I did. Every single word. Carefully. There is absolutely no term or stipulation that I even came close to violating other than that my name is Nakedjen. However, as I mentioned, that is MY name. And it has been my name on Facebook since day one. The email that I used for the service is even nakedjen@nakedjen.com Could I be more clear or obvious? I don’t think so.
What I also learned, while reading each and every word carefully, is that my account on Facebook is at will and can be terminated by Facebook at any time for any reason they deem “reasonable.” Basically, our accounts are being hosted for free on their servers. So this actually does make sense. If someone in their offices wakes up today and decides that the word Naked is pornographic or even just decides that my photo of Buddha wearing a ski cap is offensive, that person can just hit the delete button and bye bye Nakedjen.
It looks like they thought she was selling something. Doesn’t matter. Their mistake; she’s still deleted.
The longer I spend on the net, the more of this stuff I see. It’s why I don’t use Flickr, or LiveJournal, or any of the social networking sites. Build a sandcastle in somebody else’s sandbox, they will eventually kick it over.

I fucking hate Facebook and MySpace and their random delete policies. Bunch of fuckers. They’ve deleted photos of mine that have been there for over a year that don’t come anywhere near violating any of their TOS stipulations. And they deleted those breast feeding photos, too.
When you’re on a free site, you get exactly what you pay for. Hosting for a non-commercial blog site hosting/domain for a year is cheaper than most people pay for coffee in a month (less than some of my friends pay for coffee in a week).
I’ve never even browsed myspace or facebook.
Fuck’em.
i think we are past the apex of free social networking sites. i don’t take either of mine seriously to miss them if they get axed.
But if you are going to use such, back up all your pics and important contacts in email address book…in case
