End Facebook Jail Apartheid
Dear Facebook Developers:
This letter is in reference to the algorithm that you designed for people to become blocked when friend requesting. I, as well as numerous others, have been wondering exactly why it is you (Facebook) set your own users up for a fall.
When Facebook has a link called "+Find Friends" and people click the "+Add Friend" button and the recipient clicks "No", the sender of the request is then slated as a problematic user and is blocked from making friend requests. This is the problem that most Facebook users find to be the most egregious abuse of power on the part of Facebook.
I, as well as any who wish to LIKE and/or SHARE this posting, would rather the developers of Facebook put human beings back in charge of what constitutes an abuse of Facebook privilege. Do not allow Facebook to become the Anti-Social Network. Don't continue the policy of allowing a computer program to dictate what a human being should/shouldn't/can/can't/will/won't/did and/or didn't do to be put into what Facebook users around the world have begun referring to as Facebook Jail. If you want to institute a Facebook Jail, then automatically make all the people in Facebook Jail friends whether they like it or not, since your development team seems to believe that a computer program is capable of deciding what a human being wants, whether they like it or not.
Sincerely,
Robert R. Wilkinson

Why is this important?
Facebook users are tired of being penalized for using the social networking tools that Facebook gives us.
