About this Petition Petition Letter
Why This Is Important

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.

Wanton disabling of Facebook accounts

Greetings,

Facebook's current policy of disabling accounts without warning or justification is robotic at best and fascistic at worst. If a user's account is disabled, often illegitmately, they have no recourse. Facebook has no customer service and offers no way to talk to a human being about the issue. It is currently possible for people who have had no contact with an individual to claim that a person has harassed them, and Facebook's bots accept those claims as legitimate. It is possible, and has indeed occurred, that writers have shared writings that they intended to publish elsewhere stockpiled on Facebook. then suddenly lost them without warning on a whim, with no indictation what they did wrong or who has accused them. This is theft, pure and simple, or worse, destruction of property, if the disabled account has been wiped.

Facebook must be forced to stop this diabolical and dishonest procedure.
