Force Facebook to provide evidence for disabling accounts

The Issue

Facebook sends form letters if you try to appeal your disabled account, refusing to tell you what you did or who your accusers are.  This is fascism, pure and simple, and must be stopped as Facebook becomes a more universal platform.  Many writers stockpile their portfolios where their friends can access them, and this amounts to stolen property if their account is disabled.

Scott HutchinsPetition StarterScott has a B.A. in English and communication studies and an M.A. in cinema and media studies. He is partially disabled and can work only in a desk job due to leg and spine problems. He was unemployed since a seasonal layoff in February 2009 that was followed by cutbacks. After an eviction scare in 2011, he was hired by one of his grad school colleagues and is on probation for a new job as of February 2012, which required him to move to Jacksonville. He was let go after three months of failure to read the mind of his boss who would no-show meetings, and now lives in a homeless shelter in Bushwick, Brooklyn. <a href="http://uspoverty.change.org/petitions/view/tell_new_york_city_end_the_public_assistance_slave_labor_racket" rel="nofollow">http://uspoverty.change.org/petitions/view/tell_new_york_city_end_the_public_assistance_slave_labor_racket</a>
