Comments on: Facebook Hates Fun So the Party is Moving Elsewhere http://www.ex-boyfriendcollection.com/blog/label-news/facebook-hates-fun-so-the-party-is-moving-elsewhere/ A Blog About Nothing Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:39:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: ex-boyfriend http://www.ex-boyfriendcollection.com/blog/label-news/facebook-hates-fun-so-the-party-is-moving-elsewhere/comment-page-1/#comment-260 ex-boyfriend Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:54:30 +0000 http://www.ex-boyfriendcollection.com/blog/?p=544#comment-260 I agree. I think if liability was their concern they'd cap sweepstakes over a certain dollar value, but actually I don't think that's their concern. I think they only want to cater go mega-corporations who will spend hundreds of thousands in advertising with them and their preferred vendors. This is about them making money and not really wanting anything to do with small businesses. It's too bad because it doesn't just hinder small business, it makes Facebook a little less fun for users. I know as a user on Facebook I like interacting with smaller brands and this move is certainly an effort to inhibit that. I agree.

I could understand not wanting users to run a million-dollar raffle or pyramid scam, but this is just a couple of t-shirts. It shouldn't open up any liability for them.
