Facebook Not Budging

As you already know, Facebook has disabled the Inebriated Discourse pages (Friend and Fan) for whatever reason. As you can see below, the line Facebook is giving is that the name of the page is different from my actual name. But how is this different from any number of pages out there including, "Can this pickle get more fans than Nickelback?" I guess if your page has actual thought-provoking and occasionally provocative content on it, then that is not acceptable according to Facebook. As the recent privacy controversy has clearly demonstrated, Mark Zuckerburg seems more interested in information gathering on his clientele than anything else. Fucking asshole. Anyway, here is my most recent correspondence with these fuckers in which they simply reiterate their bullshit in their previous email. For the background on this, go here.

Hi,

In an effort to maintain a culture of authenticity on the site, Facebook requires users to provide their real first and last names. Impersonating anyone or anything is prohibited, and fake accounts are a violation of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.

Your account has been suspended because we have received reports that your account could be in violation of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. If you believe you were disabled by mistake, please reply to this email with a scanned image or digital picture of a government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport, etc.) and make sure the following information is clear:

- Full name
- Date of birth
- Photo

Please black out any personal information that is not needed to verify your identity (e.g., social security number). Rest assured that we will permanently delete your ID from our servers once we have used it to verify the authenticity of your account.

Note that writing in and submitting your ID multiple times will not result in a faster response. Once you submit your initial request, it is placed in a queue and responded to accordingly. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

Zoe

My reply:

Provide my real name? Why? So Zuckerberg can pimp out my info to every half-baked yuppie marketer?

Go fuck yourselves,

Sincerely,

Max Canning


I guess that settles that.

  1. I'm glad I came on here to check and see what was going on. I didn't realized your facebook had been disabled and I just thought you had stopped posting. Glad to see that's not the case.
