Stop unsolicited calls on Facebook Messenger


Stop unsolicited calls on Facebook Messenger
The Issue
Dear Facebook
We are petitioning to make some changes in your security for users to have the OPTION of allowing phone calls through the Messenger App.
Facebook messenger is of value to us as a great business tool however since the conception of the messenger app by Meta (Facebook), we are consistently harassed by people, mostly men targeting women.
We are subjected to daily unsolicited phone/video calls and even if we set our privacy settings to full privacy, it still doesn't prevent the unwanted phone calls.
It is getting in the way when i am on a conference call, coaching or working.
We do not want to remove the app, we simply wish Facebook to create a toggle button to give us the option to choose whether we want phone calls or just the chat.
If Facebook values its users and their privacy then please heed our petition and make the necessary changes.
Remember our children will be using social media. I dont want this for my daughter on any platform where there is a calling option!
Thank you,
Shama Akram
