Every day, I engage in business transactions on Facebook Marketplace, a platform that I rely on for my livelihood. However, countless times, my deals have fallen through, or worse, I have been deceived by individuals who seem to lack the basic understanding and intelligence needed for honest and effective transactions. It's frustrating, and it's affecting not just me, but countless others who depend on this platform for their businesses.

The core issue at hand here is the presence of individuals whose actions, due to a lack of awareness or understanding, lead to miscommunications, fraudulent activities, and misinformation. This not only disrupts business but contributes to a negative experience for users who are genuinely trying to make a living. The current state of ignorance and deceit can no longer be ignored, and it's high time we address this by implementing a solution that promotes a safer and more reliable environment.

A practical measure to tackle these problems is the introduction of IQ tests for users on Facebook Marketplace. By ensuring that participants meet a certain standard of intelligence, we can enhance the overall quality and trustworthiness of interactions on the platform. This will reduce the likelihood of crime and allow better communication, minimizing misunderstandings that often lead to problems. And hopefully permanently eradicating the long used term “Is This Still Available?” Followed up by no further engagement from the individual.

Facebook, one of the largest platforms globally, with its vast influence, has the responsibility to foster an environment where users can engage in secure and dependable transactions. By instituting IQ tests, we can create a space that prioritizes competence and fairness, ensuring that individuals who utilize this marketplace can do so without the fear of being misled or defrauded.

There is a clear benefit to this approach as it will filter out those who lack the necessary intellectual capability to participate responsibly. This will lead to a more harmonious environment, promoting effective business practices and enhancing user experience on Facebook Marketplace.

Join me in calling for an IQ test requirement for Facebook Marketplace. Together, we can push for a standard that will elevate the platform, making it a safer and more reliable place for all its users. Please sign this petition to make a change.
