It has been in news that Facebook is now penalising a lot of brand pages and one such sensation was the shutting down of the Pizza Hut’s India Facebook page for guidelines violation. Facebook has again took a strict decision to ban Indian pages for sought after brands viz chocolate giant Cadbury’s Bournville and fashion house French Connection UK (FCUK) this week! There are certain guidelines termed as “promotion guidelines” that Facebook issues irrespective of the brand value or its entity. While these brands are using Facebook as a social media platform, they will have to keep in mind several restrictions while publishing offers, contests to induce fans. It goes like this “govern your communication about or administration of any contest, competition, sweepstakes or other similar offering (each, a “promotion”) using Facebook”. The violation in this case was more of a breach of what Facebook echoes, “promotions on Facebook must must be administered within Apps on Facebook.com, either on a Canvas Page or an app on a Page Tab” Here is a sneak peak into Facebook’s promotional guidelines: “You must not condition registration or entry upon the user taking any action using any Facebook features or functionality other than liking a Page, checking in to a Place, or connecting to your app. You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion. You must not notify winners through Facebook, such as through Facebook messages, chat, or posts on profiles or Pages”. This handcuffing of Facebook fan pages was just added to another sensational incident wherein Pizza Hut Facebook page for India was barred. So this violation will not be tolerated. To this Pizza Hut official even went on to say they were not intimidated about this change. However bands are now kind of getting severe breakdowns due to the frequent changes of Facebook’s promotional guidelines each year. Definitely the question arises as to whether brands are facing a lot of trouble in socialising with the world’s biggest connecting platform. Time will tell!
