Facebook are rolling out yet more changes to Pages.🙄
They are removing Likes and focusing on Followers.
Currently, a person can like your Page, but choose to unfollow it meaning that they would not see your posts in their feed.
A follower is supposedly more likely to see your content in their feed, although organic is so ridiculously low at the moment I do wonder...

We're rolling out a new intuitive Page design with more robust engagement and management tools.

"A spokesperson for the internet giant also told us the privacy policy changes primarily center around sending messages to businesses to get answers and support, and claimed there will be no change in data sharing with Facebook for non-business chats and account information. This, she said, is because organizations will be given the option to use Facebook’s infrastructure to host and manage their WhatsApp conversations if they don’t want to store people's messages themselves. This biz feature has yet to roll out."

If you don't agree then, well, you'll just have to use the infinitely better Signal

There is always an alterior motive for these sort of things. The avatars are not just for fun...

Considering how some people are behaving and what they are sharing....this The Digital Law Company - Emma Sadleir event should be compulsory.

Stay safe.
Don't drink & drive.
Smile at strangers.
Be kind to yourself.
Every day is a gift....be present.

Scrolling through Instagram and seeing posts reflecting "Liked by soandso and others" versus the number of likes is rather strange. This is on most of the Instagram accounts I manage. How about yours? What do you think of the change?
