Lebanese Fadi Gedeon’s #facebook page was Disabled for offending #israel

by Sdkaaa on Aug.11, 2010, under Uncategorized

Today around 13h40 a friend of mine Fadi Gedeon’s personal facebook profile was disabled.
Fadi’s status that obviously caused this:

“ISRAEL don’t f*** with our army, we’ll sweep your ass.”(Note: This sentence was censored on our blog)

According to facebook:

You were disabled because you created or posted content (i.e., photos, groups, shares, etc.) that violated Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.

Facebook explains more their policy by mentioning in their email:

Types of content that are prohibited from Facebook include, but are not restricted to the following:

  • No nudity or other sexually explicit content
  • No content that contains hate speech or directly attacks an individual or group
  • No content that contains self harm or excessive violence
  • No content that contains illegal drug use

What tops this is the fact that the decision is final and cannot be appealed:

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to reactivate your account or respond to your email directly. This decision is final and cannot be appealed. You can visit the Warnings section of the Help Center for more information: http://www.facebook.com/help/?topic=warnings

Obviously Fadi did violate these terms, but that doesn’t mean they have the right to definitively delete his account. They should have issued a warning, suspended the account for a while, and later on deleted it or something…

I leave this story to your comments…
