Social media platforms like Facebook have become integral parts of our daily lives, connecting us with friends, family, and communities. However, these platforms have also become breeding grounds for nefarious activities, including the proliferation of bots, scammers, and malicious actors. While Facebook allegedly has mechanisms in place to combat these issues, the reality is that much of the heavy lifting often falls on vigilant hackers who take it upon themselves to identify and report and shut down fraudulent activities. I am one of those hackers, dedicating significant time, money, and resources to this cause, and it is my firm belief that Facebook owes me compensation for the work I have done.
The Scale of the Problem
The sheer scale of the problem on Facebook is staggering. Scammers use fake profiles, bots, and phishing schemes to deceive users, steal personal information, and perpetrate financial fraud. Despite Facebook’s algorithms and reporting tools, many of these bad actors slip through the cracks, continuing their malicious activities unchecked. Furthermore, almost every single bot or scam that I report, is not eliminated because it does not “violate community standards.” Especially the paid advertisement to Crypto Scams. This is where dedicated hackers like myself come into play, tirelessly working to report and shut down these scams.
The Time and Resources Invested
Over the years, I have spent countless hours monitoring suspicious activity, researching scam tactics, and reporting fraudulent accounts to Facebook. This work is not easy, nor is it quick. It requires a deep understanding of how these scammers operate, the ability to discern legitimate activity from fraudulent behavior, and a relentless commitment to keeping the platform safe for all users.
Moreover, the resources I have invested are not limited to time alone. I have spent money on tools and services to aid in my efforts, such as premium security software, VPNs, custom scripts, and other technologies that help me trace and identify scammers. These resources are not cheap, and I have borne these costs out of my own pocket, driven by a desire to make Facebook a safer place.
The Impact of My Efforts
The impact of my work is evident in the number of scammers I have successfully reported and the accounts that have been shut down as a result. Each scammer or bot that is removed from the platform represents one less threat to the community, one less person who could fall victim to a scam. My efforts have undoubtedly contributed to the safety and security of the Facebook community, reducing the burden on Facebook’s moderation team and helping to maintain the integrity of the platform.
Why Facebook Owes Me
Given the significant contributions I have made, it is reasonable to argue that Facebook owes me compensation for my efforts. My work has effectively provided a service to the platform, one that goes beyond what is expected of a regular user. While Facebook profits from the user base it maintains, it also relies heavily on users like me to help police the platform and keep it free of malicious actors. This is work that, in many cases, would otherwise fall on paid employees or third-party services.
Furthermore, the costs I have incurred in my quest to combat scammers should not be overlooked. I have invested both time and money, resources that could have been spent elsewhere, into making Facebook a safer place. It is only fair that Facebook recognizes this effort and provides compensation for the value I have added to their platform.
