In my opinion it shows that It how a social media service can be a problem. It is at no fault to them BUT the situation exist regardless.

 

However i did some more research and found plenty of individuals that didn't do much to get banned from social media. So really i think if you are interested in the topic you can really go take a look. just type into google something like "i have been banned from whatever you want to look at" and you will find plenty of people that reported different situations and got banned many of them permanent. 

 

Based on that i would honestly say that at this point in time it is really hard to imagine that it will "never happen" and or "it will never effect my employment" or "it will never effect the devices i own/work with" i think in time it will do all of the previously mentioned and more. 

 

 

Just because you have a special Facebook account for Beat Saber doesn't mean the local Mcdonald' will forever shun you. There is nothing wrong with having a "Gaming" account.

The thing is, even if you treat the account as just a gaming account wouldn't matter much because the people providing the account has done some terrible things to their users.

 

I don't know if you know but there was this one situation back in 2014 that was actually really bad. You can do a search on the topic and verify it yourself. They deliberately did experimented on over half a million people. Changing their moods via content feeds. Making people sad or happy actively exposing people to content with the goal to get a negative or positive reaction.

 

When the story broke it was dismissed as tinfoil hat stuff... But turns out it wasn't... That is what users will be signing up for. Now if they where willing to do that to so many people without any regard to their mental health. Imagine what they will be willing to do to people that uses their products. 

 

It is this type of scary stuff that doesn't belong, and no one should have the right to subject someone else's mind to experiments.

then just don't check your feed. I personally have a face book account from years ago. If you never look you are never affected. cut down on the unnecessary exposure.

Exactly right, it is just when someone has a device strapped onto their faces and thinking "this is fun i am only playing a game" while someone from the provider start to mess with them because they licked on "i agree". Simple truth is they should not have the right to do this to begin with.

 

i know it is redundant by now, but i will continue to advocate that law makers need to push for laws that will protect us when companies take things to far. 

 

There should be build in protections for the end user in these agreements,  there should be rules and regulations governing their abilities, influence and question their intent. Create systems so that end users have recourse/protection. The UN mandated what is known as  "Universal Declaration of Human Rights"

 

Within it you will find that we have freedoms and liberties that is simply being stripped away by company policy and some obscure agreement.
