Upon logging into facebook today the homepage was headed with a pop-up which contained the following message from the Facebook admin team:

"Please read this!
Authenticate your Facebook Page"

"Our records indicate that you are currently the admin of a Facebook page with a large number of fans, XXXXX. To ensure a positive user experience, we require admins of large pages to confirm their affiliation with the brand, business, person or entity that their Page represents. Please use the following link to authenticate your page

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You will also be able to authenticate your page by viewing your page and clicking on the "Authenticate page" link below the "Edit page" link.

If you are unable to authenticate your page in the next three weeks, you may lose the ability to publish stories to your fans."

A copy of this message was also emailed to me so I promptly went to the Fanpage and was greeted by another pop-up from facebook admin, it contained the following text:

"You must confirm this Page's affiliation with the brand, company, person or entity that it represents. Please take one of the following actions:

1. Link to your Facebook Page from your official website.
2. Add an email address to your account or another administrator to your Page who has an email address that is officially affiliated with your company or a company authorised to manage your brand (e.g. management company or PR firm).

If you are unable to authenticate your Page in the next three weeks, you may lose the ability to publish stories to your Fans."

How does one obtain the legal rights to post about things, which are not products i.e STOP EXAMS SAVE TREES? I didn't think you could so

pages like this and FRENCH KNICKERS, and I will name my Son Batman will be Shut Down.

A forum and a topic has been created for a number of Fanpages, where you can register for free.
