This post has been caused by Twitter (who suspended my account) and Facebook (that seems to fight with me at every opportunity) when trying to set up photography pages for a project at university.
"I'm not gonna let them win though fight too the death." quote supplied from Mica Wright, check out her blog at http://www.photographymicajwright.blogspot.co.uk
I set up a new Twitter account for my project on 30th September 2014 and I did the things that they ask you to do when opening a Twitter account like choosing the type of people that you want to follow, adding a short biography so people know who you are, adding a cover photo (not profile photo because I didn't have one on me) and posting your first tweet (which was check out my blog and my blog link). I left my account for a day or two because I didn't have the time to access it, but when I did log on next, across the top of my twitter was a notification saying that my Twitter account had been suspended. Being confused about this I clicked on more information which comes up with another page saying "Accounts are generally suspended for violations of the Twitter rules. We may also suspend accounts if we suspect an account has been hacked or compromised". I didn't think that my account had been hacked or compromised so I click on Twitter rules. These are the twitter:
- Impersonation. - Impersonate others to mislead, confuse or deceive others.
- Trademark.- Usernames on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim or trademark on those usernames.
- Private Information. - You may not post or publish any other persons personal information.
- Violence and Threats. - You must not post or private message any threats of violence against others.
- Copyright.
- Unlawful use. - You may not use our services for any unlawful purposes.
- Misuse of Twitter badges.
As far as I am aware I did not breach or break any of these rules because when set up the account.
As far as Facebook is concerned, it constantly argues with me and it will not respond to the simple things that is expected of it. Facebook allows you to write statuses, share images on with friends and send friend requests. I know this is still the first Facebook page that I have made however it should still work in the same way as your personal profile.
