What’s the context? Are the police the ones trying to get you to make a Facebook account?
Comment on Elon Musk’s misinformation machine made the horrors of Southport, a small town in the UK, much worse
Teknikal@eviltoast.org 1 month agoI’ve never had a Facebook account but been questioned by UK police who demanded my non existent Facebook account maybe a dozen times.
Unfortunately I’m now on benifit having lost my job and they keep bring up damn Facebook and trying to make me make an account.
There’s something badly wrong here, don’t use Facebook imo I honestly think it’s some kind of trap at this point.

I was raided they accused me of wanting to shoot up my workplace, I worked out later someone made a joke when I was on my holiday and a new member took it seriously and phoned the mayor’s office.
I was questioned about my non existant Facebook account almost every police interwiews I went through which all in all I’d say was close to a dozen.
Whole thing was a nightmare which ruined my entire life at the time, the fact the mayor was involved I think made the police absolutely crazy with trying to get me on anything at all. But yeah Facebook came up way way too often to the point I felt they wanted to arrest me for not having one and I wad some type of criminal scum for not having one.
Ultimately they didn’t get me on anything but I kinda feel if I had a Facebook anything I ever posted on it would be twisted in some of way to get me.

That’s horrible. I’m so sorry to hear that.

Yeah it sucked at the time, took me quite a while to work out what actually happened.

Some kids once told me that if you’re not on fb you don’t exist…maybe they’re cops now.
