How is it âunlawfulâ?
This is getting ridiculous now⌠
lol, 15 years too late judge. Would probably take just as long to undo the damage done.
Hey guys, our work place run a private Facebook group for employees and we are wondering if there is any possibility in allowing members to message the page so that admins and mods see the messages?
We are having issues with staff messaging our HR ladies private Facebook for absence from work and while all staff know this is not allowed they continue to do so and on days sheâs absent herself, we donât get notified of this until many hours later.
I find Facebook groups quite limited in its features.
If you mean making or using a Facebook Page for employees to message, and for mods to view it, that should work?
Iâm not really understanding what you want?
A Facebook group is not an entity that a user can message. Users can message a Facebook Page, however, that must be public and can not be set to private visibility. There is not an ideal solution here. If the employees want to use Facebook and the business has a public-facing Page, the best thing I can think of is sending messages to the Page, but that would be mixing internal messages with external messages.
A better solution would be to find another messaging service away from Facebook that employees can use, a popular one seems to be Slack, though I donât work in an office to use any of these apps.
So my company, (not an office based company, factory more so) has a Facebook group. Itâs private for staff only and features internal plant information staff sales and memos etc. We were looking to see if we could use our page to accept messaging that only admins to see so we can take feedback/mainly messages for absenteeism.
As one user has said though itâs not possible.
Iâve seen lots of places tbh I donât like it. Iâm not sure whether FB still lets you do this but once upon a time you were able to create a group and make it secrete. Itâs the highest security setting they have so Iâm not sure why businesses donât use it. Unless itâs no longer an option. As for my old job. They did this at one point, but it was completely done via google I think it was called Google groups at that point, but that was completely private, and a custom set up. They use a completely different platform now.
I think your best bet is creating a Business page for members to DM. Or look at a different platform.
Leader of a bunch of well-meaning idiots.
Any ban will be circumvented by those itâs trying to protect. Kids arenât that stupid in that regard.
Any age verification technology will be seen as a pain in the arse. Anyone who doesnât have kids, or of legal age will get the shits of having to prove their age multiple times.
This is because parents are too fucking useless and gormless to tell their kids NO. Donât give your kids a smart phone. If you must give them a phone, make it a cheap burner phone with no camera.
Not to mention that the social media companies would rather cut off Australia from accessing their services than implement age verification (similar to how Tiktok cut off service to the US for a number of hours in January)
Exactly. But even then, theyâll get a VPN and just bypass the verification.
This is the Medusa principle in full effect - chop one head, two grows in its place.
Even better idea.
Parents, grow a pair, and donât give your kids a smart phone and allow them access to Snapchat and its ilk. Tell them no. Tell them to fuck off if youâd like. But donât allow them access to Snapcat.
All theyâre doing is making sure they look good whenever the âbanâ comes into force. Itâs all bullshit.
