Facebook wants people to join 'public groups' automatically without approval by admins/ moderators. There's nothing that admins/ moderators can do to stop that. If the group setting is changed to 'private', the same can't be changed to public ever again.
And why so? Ostensibly it's to ease the work pressure of admins/ moderators of having to approve any new joinee individually. By allowing people to join public groups automatically, Facebook supposedly is facilitating increase of engagement in public groups.
It's an utterly fake narrative by Facebook app, Facebook Community, Facebook Security.
It's evident that Facebook in India (I am not interested in what it does overseas) supports and encourages spammers, wrongdoers and disruptors on its social media platform. I strongly detest and oppose such one sided decisions by Facebook.
If we admins/ moderators are not vigilant enough by choosing the right Facebook settings, anyone can also post/ comment/reply automatically without even joining any public groups.
Cyberlaws in India rightfully hold admins/ moderators of groups/ forums responsible for any mischievous activity or wrongdoings in the group.
Admins/ moderators will now have to be on tenterhooks to continuously weed out unwanted disruptors and people with heinous intentions out of the groups they are responsible for.
I am publicly announcing my extreme displeasure on Facebook unanimously implementing these dangerous changes.
I as the admin/ moderator of quite a few groups/ forums should not be held responsible for any potentially harmful/ anti national activities happening in my groups/ forums because of such changes being introduced by Facebook.
Requesting Narendra Modi ji, PMO India, Amit Shah, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India to immediately intervene.
Requesting every Facebook user and Facebook group admin/ moderator who feels threatened by the unilateral moves by Facebook as a corporate entity to share my concern and tag all relevant law enforcing authorities across India.
