Meta is no different. I know a company that had their OAuth app on Meta rendered completely unusable just because one of their employees (a dev) had their personal Facebook account banned by Meta for no reason. They tried to escalate it multiple times but got nowhere, lol. Meta is even worse because accounts need to be 'personal'; if you have a Business Manager, the users added to it are all tied to their personal Meta/Facebook accounts. This is ludicrous.
- nthypes 4mo agoMeta and Google B2B are both horrible. Their ad account bans are constant, and they have no real escalation process to get help. These companies are monopolies that should treat businesses more seriously, especially in these situations.

- lotsoweiners 4mo agoSeems relevant to me as it is still a service that their company relied on.
- Kiro 4mo agoSure you're not misreading Metal?
- skullone 4mo agoThe is in context of B2B, which meta has a huge ecosystem and often rips away a companies revenue for hidden reasons
- budoso 4mo agoCrazy considering this was their primary argument against the App Store's revenue share model. Not that they're wrong, but you'd think they would at least be consistent.

- skywhopper 4mo agoA huge number of small businesses have no Internet presence beyond their Facebook and Insta pages, so … yes they are extremely relevant to a discussion about the risk to small business of flaky hyperscalers.
- matsemann 4mo agoYeah, people loose their business because a kid is logged in on their iPad, gets their google account suspended, and google knows it's the same household as the parent, and everything gets shut down
- genxy 4mo agoEveryone needs a defensible root of trust, this goes all the way down to the registrar you use for your domain.
- londons_explore 4mo ago> google knows it's the same household as the parent, Nearly all these linkages are due to people sharing recovery email addresses and phone numbers. Don't do that.
- dylan604 4mo agoAre you honestly saying that a kid should not use their parent's email address as a recovery option? Seems like that would be the natural way to do it.
- true_religion 4mo agoI don’t know about you, but I have a family account that we use as an email recovery for kids. Adults have multiple emails so they won’t have to share it. If something takes out the family email account, that’s fine. The only thing going there regularly are school notices, contractor receipts and recovery emails.
- matsemann 4mo agoPoint is that if one account gets suspended, all your accounts might. Your kids', the family account, your separate one that you use for gcp billing etc

- dylan604 4mo agoTo me, building any business with dependencies on Meta is just a bad business plan.
