Continuing from my last post but with a markedly different illustration of how Facebook acts, the peer recommendation brought light to a fascinating development.
A friend invited their entire list to a company they thought was 365Sales. Instead, they clicked on Sales 365. Sales 365 blatantly copied my company’s logo. The administrator of the page was a Malaysian student.
I am unaware why they copied the page. My presumption is that this is done commonly and people do it in the hope that searchers incorrectly are directed to their page when someone searches for the correct source.
Shocked with what was on the screen, I immediately found the Facebook department that deals with infringements of Intellectual Property. Within 5 hours Facebook had entirely removed the Sales 365 facebook group.
Although it was an annoyance, the whole process illustrated how powerful Facebook is, as it acted as a court so swiftly and powerfully.
Don’t mess with Facebook
