No more Mass Planner

[THUNDERELVI]

RIP MP, you will be missed for sure. I made more money with that program in ~ 2 years than I've done with any other bot so far (excluding SB of course). This is such a big deal, because no alternative app currently in the market comes even close to MP for features & price, at least not for FB marketing that I used it for. Back to coding a custom app I guess and dealing with all the issues that brings...

 

[febernovo]

I think some of you are reading too much into this. Facebook knows all the clients from Mass Planner and Instagress represent a big business opportunity for their Ads business. So they went for it

Internet marketing has always been about adapting and evolving.

 

[WhitehatSMM]

me neither since the accounts used inside MP have nothing to do with us closing the actual software. no one has access there but you, so if there were any accounts closed that definitely wasn't cause of this...

Exactly i dont get it

 

[crazyEyes]

rightfully so its illegal to do what you were doing.

Would be crazy if they send lawyer letters to every mass planner / Instagress user

They even request all the payment transactions.
If massplanner gave all their account database they will disable all those accounts from fb and instagram.

My fb account got disabled after i got the letter and from since then i cannot use my real name on facebook anymore.

I hope they can never go after UBOT

They will never go against ubot because it's just a tool. They never advertised to create automation for fb or instagram.

I am sure they got a cease and decease order from fb/instagram lawyers.
Mass planner is obliged to spill the beans on all of the accounts and paypal transactions so a lot of instagram accounts is going to be banned.

I doubt that.

I don't see any benefit to FB/Inst in going after people who have used these services in the past. It's the activity they want to stop, and it looks like they've stopped it. Job done. Pretty cheaply too, I'd guess. Why spend hours of mantime chasing the paper trail just to close a bunch of accounts - most of which will be dead now, anyway?

mate please stop panicking people.. there were others that were closed and you didn't see a banwave anywhere..

 

[ZAP6]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...time to spend some money in real ads guys LOL!

Don't worry, you make 10x more money with real ads and a good niche/product

Here's a part of the letter i received from instagram/facebook lawyers when they sent me the cease and decease for my software.

Along with your response, we demand that you provide:

 A complete list of any and all Facebook and Instagram accounts You have created, developed, maintained or controlled;

 A complete list of domain names that You own, maintain or control;

 A complete accounting of each and every customer who purchased your software, or any other Facebook or Instagram services, including an accounting of all compensation or revenue received by You, and the URLs for each profile and/or Page for which You rendered those services; and

 A copy of each and every version of any software code You have developed or used to interact with the Facebook and Instagram websites and/or services. ​

Is it too crazy to think that they will add scheduling posts for business accounts (they did add the realtime metrics and follower insights...)
Still the follow/unfollow/like will have to be done manually..

 

[crazyEyes]

mate please stop panicking people.. there were others that were closed and you didn't see a banwave anywhere..

Just stating the fact mate but if the massplanner isn't from the US they dont need to send them his database. Just close massplanner and brand it under a new name by using dummy accounts as the owner.

 

[maltedgo]

Pretty crazy that its down. I'll be curious if the accounts get removed because of it.

You need to understand that what you were doing was ILLEGAL and therefore required this measurements.

What Massplanner and Instagress do might violate the terms and conditions to a degree but its not illegal

Well. You didnt know what software i made. Its exactly what mass planner does with even less feature because i created it back in 2012.

QUOTE: Sue the shit out of what? What are the legal issues of the software? Since when is playing against ToS of Instagram the same as law ?

My guess:
There's been a lot of stuff in the news over the last few months RE: fake news appearing on SM sites, Google, etc. There's also been a lot of stuff in the news about terrorist organisations using SM sites, Google (seo) etc to distribute their propaganda, and criminals (hackers, perverts, pedos, etc) doing the same.

As a result there have been pushes towards trying to hold companies like Google, FB, etc responsible for the content that appears on their sites.

Additionally, big advertisers have been complaining about their ads appearing next to that kind of content.

How does this affect bots? In 2 ways, I can guess at.

1. Bots have probably been on the list of 'things to deal with' for a while, and it's possible these issues have pushed them up the priorities. If you're going to try and deal with the crap listed above, a good start might be to do your best to attack automation and anonymity.

2. Anyone distributing fake news, criminal activities, suspect porn, etc is likely using bots in some way. Go after one and you may as well go after them all.

Right now, there's a debate going on about whether or not Google, FB, etc can be held responsible for all the cr@p that gets posted. They could go under if they were!

I1. Governments trying to hold them to account for the activities of their members, and.

Exactly. Thisbstupid election heightened that shit.

The software part is not but selling accounts will get you flagged right away. Its technically selling FB property.

I suggest you stop for a moment and think logically - you should have done that before posting this nonsense anyway. The MP staff does NOT have access to any account that MP subscribers use. Also, there is no link between a transcation and the accounts that a person uses. How the hell is FB going to know that John Doe bought a MP license and is operating some specific 1k accounts with 1k different names? They don't, there is no correlation. All of my licenses were bought under my company name for "legit" social outreach for my company and yet I was using them to spam with hundreds of accounts each day. MP provided the tool to automate your social media needs, it didn't create nor stored account information for you.

LOL UBOT wont get shut down because it's shit Anyway.

 

[THUNDERELVI]

LOL UBOT wont get shut down because it's shit Anyway.

Ubot won't get shut down because it's not violating any rules anyway. Ubot can't be held responsible for the bots users create, and even though I never checked their TOS, I'm sure this statement is in there somehow.

 

[daxdax89]

If they could just share their source code somehow
