Another fake account. Hell, why don’t people GET IT? If I wanted a Facebook page I’d make one. The only real page is at sevcom.com
Problem is to complain about a fake page you have to join Facebook.
Update: Joined, set maximum privacy and complained.
Update: The person that set up the account has made no attempt to talk with me despite my being very clear that I was pissed. Facebook has a procedure for identity theft which is completely false. You’re told to click on controls next to a time line that don’t exist. That’s seriously fucked up. They DO have copyright set up – I guess they are actually worried about that. So far I have managed to get three images taken down. I hope that the body snatcher gets the message.
Update: Still no response from the pod person. I suspect that they don’t feed this Tamagotchi very often. Sigh. I asked that the rest of the images go (didn’t realise that they were on a Facebook external drive.) That leaves an untidy mess which I’ll have to deny for years to come, damn them.
Update: We have contact. Page is coming down. Good result and reasonable exchange of emails. It was over-enthusiasm. Next week on Batman, the Riddler covers Gotham with a giant tea cosy.
What’s the problem? Well since you asked:
- If I want to do something I’ll do it. I’m not crippled. I’m not mentally incapacitated. I don’t need you to do things ‘on my behalf’. Just let me make my own decisions.
- I really don’t like people ‘being me’. That’s creepy. Particularly signing contracts as ‘me’. That’s illegal.
- I find Facebook repulsive. I don’t have to justify that to anyone, but I find it horribly conformist and a lifestyle template for the normals.
- I don’t want to trade my privacy to get access to other people. I don’t really want that kind of access.
- It’s ugly. It looks like some kind of bank. I want my stuff to have my personality, not some bank.
- Seriously – number 2 again. You’re creepy.
Should have asked BEFOREHAND
Have just posted this to the impostor’s farcebook page. I’d encourage others with farcebook accounts to do the same.
Good luck in the struggle Uncle
if you ever need the dubious mp3 / blog lists and what have you removed from google’s search results, let me know.
“if you ever need the dubious mp3 / blog lists and what have you removed from google’s search results, let me know.”
How is that done?
I’ve been asking people to link their YouTube videos to tracks on BandCamp, I thought that was fair enough, they get to keep the video and I get some hope. Amazing how many insults come back. Like I was somehow snuffing out their RIGHTS.
I am on their Trusted Copyright Removal Program for Web Search – means that rather than doing things one-at-a-time and losing the will to live, I can fill in a short form and submit 1000 urls at a time. If it’s on the usual suspects list like filetram and torrentz.eu and what have you they’ll be removed from the search results and subsequent results will be sent to the back of the class bringing the results that you actually want to the first few pages. If they’re on blogger, they get sent for the blog police to look at, issue warnings, delete entries or nuke the blog from orbit. Just means sifting through pages of urls seeing which ones make the bad list
On Friday the pod person started to upload more images. So much for my hope that they were ‘over enthusiastic’, because they’d have to have read my request to stop doing it and thought to themselves “who cares what the actual artist wants”. One of the images is a new ID photo – it’s me from 20 something years ago. Urk.
Eventually I hope that Facebook get sick of my copyright notifications and flag the account. Why don’t they fix the damn ‘imposter’ flag? Why do they have incorrect instructions up?
another one ? https://www.facebook.com/tom.ellard.18?ref=ts
Probably just me having to sign up. There are 18 people on there that share my name and deserve any and all the benefits of the ‘social network’.
