Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

Photo Retrieved from: Babble

Here are some excerpts from Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities which pertains to the subject of this blog:

Safety

We do our best to keep Facebook safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments:

• You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.

• You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.

Registration and Account Security

Facebook users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:

• You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.

• You will not create more than one personal profile.

• If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission.

Termination

If you violate the letter or spirit of this Statement, or otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us, we can stop providing all or part of Facebook to you. We will notify you by email or at the next time you attempt to access your account. You may also delete your account or disable your application at any time.

As you can see from these excerpts, the only penalty Facebook is prepared to hand out to violators of their policies is to terminate your account.  While the guidelines are present, there are no monitors available to enforce these “responsibilities”.
