is a group of autonomous networked machines (agents) transforming the environmental soundscapes at 5 international places into a realtime composition of abstract electronic music.īlackhole-factory has sent out 5 microphone agents to distant places where they permanently register the current soundscape and stream their analysis of the sound spectrum into the installation space.Ī central computer interprets this information with regard to frequency, texture and synchronous events. Still, all of this feels like so weird digital betrayal of trust.A.O.S.C. I choose to see it that way.Īnd if you rely on Facebook or Instagram for business, build yourself some backup accounts now, so that every page or group that you moderate, has secondary access. It’s possible my old account could be resurrected, but with every day that feels less likely.īut beyond that, there’s nothing I can do aside from what I have done. While I do used Facebook for business, I am glad that I don’t have a Facebook Business. No matter what I do or where I go, I get the same short messages saying your account is suspended and there’s nothing you can do. Is there anyone, anything, anywhere that I can ask questions? No.
It was pretty much the same deal on Instagram.Ĭould I see the offensive posts that got me banned? No.Ĭould their super mega brilliant AI figure out at this might not have been me posting? No. I have a few days left before time runs out and my account is permanently deleted. Logging in now just shows the message below…
You have 30 days to appeal.Īnd that’s it. Your account is suspended for community violations. The next morning, I had a simple message. In all of that time I have never had a post questioned by Facebook.Īnd yet, three weeks ago at 2:30am, someone or something posted TEN times in TEN MINUTES and by 2:49am the account was suspended. And many tens of thousands of other relationships on pages and groups (some of which I may be able to recover as there are multiple admins.)
I had been on Facebook for around 15 years now. And most people do.īut about platforms and their indifference to us as human beings. Not so much about cyber security, which I take very seriously. It will never be updated ever again (unless my account is reinstated).
#Blackhole facebook hack update#
I had planned to circle back and re-read and send ‘thankyous.’Īnd having just announced Impact50 is being premiered, I can’t update the Create50 page as I was the sole moderator. Many people had commented on those two posts and now they are gone into the black hole. Most recently my mum died as well as an old friend. So yeah, Facebook was pretty useful and I was happy to pay the devil for that value… Their advertising and within reason, my data, in return for the platform.īut it seems the devil has no use for me now. Contacting people that I don’t have an email for Personal updates that I wanted to shareģ. I had been on and off Facebook for about a year before the hack, but I did use it for three main reasons…Ģ. It’s clear that we users are not human beings. What has REALLY irked me is that absolute contempt in which Meta (aka Facebook) holds its users. I am not naïve too, we live in a world of cyber threats.
I have different emails and long passwords on both accounts and I change them regularly after major projects. Tumbling from this I then also lost my personal Instagram and London Screenwriters Festival Instagram accounts. The bottom line is that the platform is very far from secure. I don’t want to go into details of the ‘how’ as it was a sophisticated hack, and I am still unsure of how they did it.
