Therefore, I like to Challenge the Facebook right to disable or cancel unilaterally personal accounts where communication material and personal data are stored and which by doing so deprives people from their undeniable right to communicate and having access to their own personal data.

Thousands of ordinary citizens are in desperation from the unfair treatment by the senseless and confusing warnings of Facebook, their accounts becoming methodically disabled and letting women, children, fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, whose only mistake was to fall into Facebook’s luring promotional offer that promised Facebook helps you connect with the people of your life and abandoning other internet programs and habits in order to join Facebook and then ending up having to go down to their knees begging to no avail in order to have access to their own personal precious data.

This kind of practice is a shame and disrespect to Humanity and very well resembling a Neo-Nazi mentality.

However, for sure this problem is something new in today’s society and the only solution in my opinion is for the governments around the world to protect the ordinary citizens from this kind of arrogant abuse of power from the social internet service providers in general and in this case facebook!!!

At the time there is all the technology and means to monitor and control what the subscriber is downloading and importing in his or her account and can be stopped from any misuse of the rules, why instead methodically is disabling the personal account and depriving the human being from the undeniable right of communication with people of his or her life and also by disabling the account is deprived from having access to his or her personal matters.

We are living in a free civilize society and no body is above the constitution and the laws of the Country we live.

Facebook and any other internet provider can make the rules and regulations they want but, they can not give you confusing notifications and warnings and then use them as an excuse to have their way of causing a chaos on a human’s life, this is abuse of power, outdated and very unsocial, also is against facebook’s slogan that help you connect and share with the people in your life…

Facebook disable account sites full of pages with so many people suffering in desperation, anger and depression, for been deprived from their undeniable right to be able to communicate with the people in their life!!! to my self looks like a “Disabled Accounts Concentration Camp” and this is an eyesore on the facebook image, if Mark Zuckerberg intends to repair Feacebook’s Battered image has to give priority to this issue and be more respectful to the people who supported facebook and brought it to this stage of a great success..

Also, Disabling Personal Accounts Is An Insult To The American Liberty Symbol And To The Whole Civilized Free World!!! They Must Stop Doing This Immediately

Yes, it is my choice to stay and continue to utilize their services. Yes, I have become increasingly concerned over privacy issues. Yes, I have considered leaving, but haven’t because I just feel too dependent on its services. I can no easier leave Facebook than tell my local electricity company disconnect me and go off the grid. I simply don’t have a realistic choice.

I love freedom of speech, and have written columns in the newspaper advocating it, I am a capitalist at heart, but I am scared as hell that Facebook has become so dominant. It does little to protect privacy, after-all any application that a Facebook user intentionally and occasionally unintentionally uses has access to their personal information. A very recent article stated that Facebook officially responded to a data “leak” as not really a security compromise. I tend to disagree that my Facebook data is a security compromise and you should feel the same about your account information.

Until Facebook is forced by regulation it will continue to operate as a freewheeling utility with little concern, other than its image. Which I emphatically state most people need to comprehend just how monopolistic Facebook is.

If I am allowed to say goodbye to my friends on Facebook, I shall. Until there is more protections for the consumers, I would not just deactivate my Facebook account, but permanently delete it. Do you know how to permanently delete your Facebook account?

I think Facebook is giving the internet a bad name. As far as I’m concerned you can regulate it to death!

Sign up with Twitter, and you retain the IP and copyright over anything you send out. Twitter retains on sign-up a licence for it to disseminate your output – with FB, they get lock, stock and barrel the moment you hit that I agree button. Photos, texts, updates, groups you might start, the lot – every single last character belongs to them. You have signed over your IP.

This allows FB to generate income using it however they please, but it might also be a way to bring them back into negotiation with FB users, the makers of the communities. The contract signed by FB users is so one sided, an examination by a US court might bring FB HQ back to the negotiating table? And nor should such an action be just in the US – our High Court bench here in Australia is itching to have a significant copyright & IP case come before it. The Google Book settlement, still ongoing, offers an interesting precedent.

However, when you have many people around you use it, then it switches from being a web site into a utility. The problem here is a problem of large numbers – Facebook is being used by a significant percentage of the world’s population. When a free market organization grows this big, it has to be regulated to some extend.

On the other, I don’t think that it should be regulated in the sense that electricity or gas are regulated. I think the the real requirement is to impose certain legal restrictions, on the user agreement between Facebook and its users – at this point, it allows many liberties to Facebook, and very little to users.
