Class action lawsuit against facebook for disabled accounts?
I am an attorney in Chicago and am considering filing a Class Action lawsuit against facebook. My account also was disabled with no explanation.
If anyone would like to be considered to be a plaintiff in this lawsuit, please shoot me an email to tonykonfacebook@gmail.com
Im giving them 3 days to reinstate my account or I am seriously ready to sue them in Illinois.

Inappropriate?My facebook account was disabled 72 hours ago and I have not heard the reason why they disabled my account. Facebook was my only way of communication to my Daughter, I am so upset. My daughter and I used facebook to chat and message each other after several years of silence between us. We were building a new relationship there.
Also the time I've invested in my Facebook account is valuable to me, many hours of work. I was in process of developing a Facebook application. My pictures, my comments all my notes all GONE! For faceboook not to recognize what they have done to my life is incomprehensible. I am still waiting to hear from them.
The process for appeal is primitive. The response to a person's disabled account is null and without warning.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?I'm curious, is this plan of action actually legal? Since fb is a free product and made available by good will (and ad revenue) there is no direct contract between the users and the company other than the "Term of Use" agreement of course, but as we all know Terms of Use in no way guarantees site availability, customer satisfaction response teams or any form of Service Level Agreement.
How exactly would this lawsuit be viewed by the legal community? -
Inappropriate?so besides a bunch of bitching - what action has anyone actually taken here?

Inappropriate?Screw facebook.. They can burn in hell. The same thing happened to me. Although I got a message saying it was due to some security or false posting of name. My facebook was under my gaming name and when I tried to change it to my real name it did an auto scan and said that bella could not possibly be a real name. Which it is... I wrote them several times and they haven't gotten back to me. Freaking going back to Myspace or linked in. C.A.L.S. all the way!

Inappropriate?They disabled my facebook account due to some spam or some garbage because someone came onto my account and sent a bunch of random friend invites that was considered spam. That's fine, I emailed them and told them it is a mistake. They said no and that my account is disabled forever. Frustrated, I made a new account and had to readd everyone I knew over a course of 10 years and having moved between 5 cities all across north america (which was a pain in the butt) and I couldn't even find all my old friends anymore either that were on my original account. A week later they disabled this account as well saying that i cannot maintain multiple accounts....but they disabled my first one 'permanently' as they put it so I wasn't 'maintaining' any accounts at the time I made the new one because they told me I can never use it again...I wrote back to them asking them wtf and to read what I wrote because I clearly explained how I was not maintaining two accounts....I have yet to get a response. My last response took them 5 days to answer..

Inappropriate?I think it is immoral for them to confiscate our content. Since we have built it ourselves, it belongs to us. They even spell this out in their TOS.
This company has a lack of transparancy, an unwillingness to cooperate with its users, and a total lack of accountability.
If this lack of accountability is achieved through providing a free service, and therby avoiding having to appease paying customers, then that is also immoral.
The thing that really worries me is the amount of data they collect, with absolutely no policing on how they are allowed to use it. I have no reason to trust them.
Send a message to abuse@facebook.com and report the company itself for abusing people's rights to their own information, and its responsibility to treat its users fairly.

Inappropriate?I do not know if a class action is ath answer: FB is a social site, it should belong to the people. It is time to create the Republic of Facebook.com
I’m indifferent
