Facebook is in The News Again! BP Boycott Page is missing?

By admin, on June 29th, 2010

Well there was, as a spokesman said from Facebook said, a “technological glitch” and the Fakebook’s BP Boycott page was removed. The spokesman also said there was nothing sinister behind the move, and the automated systems mistakenly flagged the page for removal. Hummm… I believe them I really do. Laugh

The removed page prompted a protest from Public Citizen, a nonprofit public interest group that has been promoting the boycott. It called the removal of the page irresponsible and said the Facebook members deserved a better answer than this lame excuse.

A Public Citizen attorney Greg Beck said “I don’t think it’s much of an explanation at all. They didn’t explain why their system took it down, and just the fact that a community that large — with more than 700,000 users — could be taken down without explanation is problem. The automated system doesn’t tell us that much.” Beck also added “Facebook and other social websites have become the public squares of the internet — places where citizens can congregate as a community to share their opinions and voice their grievances. Facebook’s ownership of this democratic forum carries great responsibility.”

Well I for one, trust Facebook is up to the task of being a keeper of this democratic forum. They have proven many times over the past couple of years there in this for the money. From web spam, scams and borderline fraud they have proven they can not be trusted. So I am betting the BP sent them a little check.
