Facebook has disabled Mina Ahadi and my accounts!
Update: I just found out that Facebook has also disabled Mina Ahadi's account - it is becoming quite clear what this is all about, isn't it?

Here's what I had written earlier. We are working on a letter to the heads of Facebook on this.

****

Facebook has disabled my account. When I went to log in today, I found I could no longer access it. Other than the below general note, I can't seem to find anyway to email or speak to someone about this to reinstate it.

The reasons the general notes say it may be disabled are:

■Continued prohibited behavior after receiving a warning or multiple warnings from Facebook
(I have never received any warning - not even this time)

■Unsolicited contact with others for the purpose of harassment, advertising, promoting, dating, or other inappropriate conduct
(I only contact people in groups of which I am admin for.)

■Use of a fake name
(I am obviously using my real name)

■Impersonation of a person or entity, or other misrepresentation of identity
(Again not the case here with me)

■Posted content that violates Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (this includes any obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit photos, as well as any photos that depict graphic violence. We also remove content, photo or written, that threatens, intimidates, harasses, or brings unwanted attention or embarrassment to an individual or group of people)
(Err, I know I have been threatened on Facebook and they are all still around but it's never been the other way around so not sure why my account has been disabled....)

They do also add in the general note:

'If you have not posted violating content or otherwise violated our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, keep in mind that your account may have been recently compromised by someone else. Also, our systems sometimes disable accounts temporarily for security reasons.'

This is the most likely reason - so Facebook reinstate my account immediately please.

Interesting that this happens whilst we are organising for September protests though isn't it?

BTW, if anyone knows how to get my account active again, can you please advise. I can't find one email address or contact form to fill out.

Thanks

Maryam
