What if I told you anyone in the world with a Facebook account can edit your Page without being an Admin? And that doing so does not violate Facebook’s terms of service?
I’m guessing, if you’re like one of my clients, you’re frowning right about now.
And to be honest, I can’t say I blame you.
As a post by All Facebook from earlier this year
makes clear, anyone can click “edit” to make changes to a Places page.
And although the changes submitted in this way by the general public have to go through an approval process – Get this – The Facebook Page Admins…do not appear to be part of that approval process. Indeed, it appears it is entirely up to Facebook to determine whether a suggested edit gets published as an official change to the info sub tab of your Facebook Page.
I recently had to explain this to one of my clients… I can’t say I blame them for being dumb-founded.
A little loss of control they can deal with…but this??? I think Facebook needs to give a little territory back on this one. Or at the very least clarify how the approval process actually works.
What do you think? Should your approval be required or at least requested for suggested edits to your Places Page?
