For over a decade, my company has maintained a robust presence on @Facebook, utilizing the platform to share content, engage with our audience, and grow our business. We managed several pages, ranging from cannabis-related content to regular business services.

However, this long-standing relationship came to an abrupt and shocking halt when Facebook recently deleted one of our business pages, triggering a cascade of events that led to the removal of every associated employee account and threatens the existence of all our business pages.

This unforeseen action came without warning or clear communication from Facebook. We were not informed of the specific violations that prompted this extreme measure, leaving us in the dark about the exact cause. The only option presented was a single button labeled “Dispute,” with no further avenue for discussion or clarification.

The impact of this action extends beyond the loss of one page. It has resulted in the complete deletion of all our employee accounts linked to these business pages, paralyzing our ability to manage our accounts and engage with our audience. This sweeping action has put all our business pages, including those unrelated to cannabis, at risk of permanent deletion.

What makes this situation more frustrating is the complete lack of recourse or communication channels provided by Facebook. There is no direct contact, no customer support, and no clear process to address our concerns. We are left with a sense of helplessness, as our decade-long investment in building a community on this platform is erased with a single, unexplained action.

Facebook’s arbitrary decision has had a profound impact on our business operations and our trust in the platform. It is a stark reminder of the power that social media giants wield over businesses, and the precariousness of relying on a single platform for our digital presence. Our experience serves as a cautionary tale for businesses navigating the unpredictable landscape of social media platforms.

In light of these events, we have made the difficult decision to sever our ties with Facebook permanently. We can no longer place our trust in a platform that wields its power with such disregard for the businesses that have contributed to its ecosystem. Moving forward, we will seek alternative platforms that value transparency, fairness, and open communication with their users.

Our experience with Facebook serves as a reminder of the vulnerability that businesses face in the digital age. It underscores the need for more robust and transparent policies from social media platforms that have become essential tools for communication and commerce. As we navigate away from Facebook, we urge other businesses to critically assess their reliance on such platforms and advocate for a fairer digital landscape.

In conclusion, our story is one of disillusionment and a call for change. We will continue to share our journey, hoping to inspire a movement towards greater accountability and transparency in the social media sphere. Our departure from Facebook is not just an end but a new beginning, as we explore other avenues to connect with our community and share our message.
