Why I fired Social Media

If you’re on someone else’s platform—like Facebook—they have complete authority to remove your content or posts at any time.

When I got banned for absolutely no reason over a simple video of me playing piano to Madonna’s classic song “Like a Virgin,” I was stunned. Overnight, Facebook permanently disabled my account. I submitted an appeal hoping to salvage it, but within ten minutes, the AI system responded, informing me my account was permanently disabled.

After that, several people asked if I planned to create another Facebook account. My response was blunt: “No! Forget Facebook!”

If it wasn’t the so-called fact-checkers flagging my posts, it was people reporting my stories because I tell them as they truly happened—raw and unfiltered. I don’t clean up my language, because doing so would strip away the reality of what I experienced.

Over time, my posts started disappearing. Some would say, “This post isn’t available right now,” or would suddenly be shared with only a limited audience. It was chaotic. My material would vanish without explanation—sometimes entire posts gone altogether.

The whole experience was incredibly frustrating and disheartening.
