On Friday, C.J. Pearson, a 12-year-old conservative from Georgia who posted a viral video supporting Rudy Giuliani, discovered that his personal Facebook page was locked. In an exclusive interview with Examiner.com on Saturday, Pearson said he received a message from someone about 6 a.m. Friday. That's when he learned his account and page had been locked for "suspicious activity."

He jumped through all of Facebook's hoops, but wasn't able to recover his account. So he created a new profile to take its place. His public page was not affected, he said, however, he can no longer administer the page. Fortunately, he said, a friend is helping post links to that page.

Doesn't Facebook have a minimum age of 13?

Repeatedly saying the same thing over and over doesn’t make it anymore factual than it already isn’t.
It makes people want to offer you a cracker, actually.

Different subjects ... same different deletion protocol ... you violate liberal policy, you get deleted ...:-) ...

There, fixed it for you.

[Darksheare]

They will steadfastly refuse to see the truth of it.

There not any instance where it’s not this situation ... No matter what the subject area ... if you violate policy, you get deleted.

If you don’t believe that ... then try it out ... go to ALL DIFFERENT SITES and violate policy ... you will get deleted. Try it and see for yourself ... :-) ...

Yes, read posts 1-100 to catch up :-)

[Star Traveler]

All sites are the same in their deletion protocol ... you violate policy, you will be deleted. It’s as simple as that.

[Darksheare]

Try an apple and try an orange.
Tell me how they are the same.

Facebook is a social media site.
FR is not.
Your contention was that they were the same.
Are you now trying to “walk back” on that?

[plain talk]

yep. lots of paranoiad nonsense out there.

[TBP]

people post political crap - left and right - all the time on facebook and their comments are not deleted and their accounts are not suspended.

I know of many people who have been suspended for no reason after expressing a conservative or libertarian opinion.

Different subjects ... same deletion protocol ... you violate policy, you get deleted.

[TBP]

Redundancy.

[Star Traveler]

A lot of that here, too ... LOL ...

[Darksheare]

Some firearms manufacturers had their FB pages deleted due to some liberal idiot getting offended, article about it on FR ages ago.

It does happen.
FB banned an image from one of the posters in this thread, see posts 35 and contrast it with post 56.

[TBP]

If there is no violation on the account, nothing will happen.

Unless you happen to be a conservative.

[TBP]

You mean Facebook would do such a horrible thing to a young black boy who was just trying to express himself?

Of course they would. Zuckerberg is a liberal.

[TBP]

So you can’t have a separate account for your religious or political work?

[TBP]

Religion and politics are a big part of my page.

[Darksheare]

Like I said, repeating it doesn't make the comparison between Facebook and free republic any more factual than it isn't.

[Star Traveler]

There are policies you can violate, but “being conservative” is not one of them ... :-) ...
