   @dogriley the best thing humanity could do is abandon FB en mass.

     @lightweight Haven’t seen the article but it’s happening to regular accounts too, personal account hijack and not one single person at Facebook is there to help. In fact there is no way provided to deal with even reporting it as an issue.

     Thinking about the poor woman who was locked out of her Facebook-dependent business by the system & hasn't been able to contact anyone at FB. Was reminded of all those software companies who became 'Silverlight' developers... Haven't heard of them? There's a reason for that: Microsoft owned Silverlight, and then end-of-lifed it. Those companies, like this woman, got kneecapped because they made a very naïve business decision. Never let your business depend on a 3rd party you don't control.
