Where did I go?
Hey friends! (To Everyone that knows me 🙂 )
Yes it is true, you can no longer find me on social media.
Why? It began on Tuesday October 23 2018 when a “friend” (as Facebook puts it) reported my 3 year old very active Facebook account as being “fake”
Next Facebook emailed me and informed me that my account needed to be verified and that I had to upload a photo of myself to prove my identity. That of course I did but Facebook never reactivated my account.
Naturally at first I was upset as I was not even given a chance to download my data (pictures and videos) and I was equally upset as I am clearly not a fake profile. BUT: I am actually glad now! You see I am a believer in building your brand online in a place where you have complete and full control. What a better place then your very own website, right?! After all this is why I built up my company Digital Mike Media in the first place so that way you can also build your brand on your very own website.
So if you begin searching for me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and you don’t find me know that I did not unfriend you or block you! I was taken down and I took myself down 🙂
P.S. Being that Facebook also owns and operates Instagram I also took the steps to deactivate that account too as I am no longer wishing to be part of the “Facebook Tribe” or Facebook family as they put it.
Talk soon!
