I have written numerous emails to disabled@facebook.com. I started posting on Iran starting Sat June 14th. I also created a group called Iran Elections Aftermath to gather all the news regarding Iran in one place, that included links to articles, videos and pictures. I post disclaimers on anything that was graphic. I was blocked from posting links Sunday, The only place I could add a URL was on the wall of the group. I could not even email a link. Thursday I got my "privilege" to post back. I proceeded to do so, both on my own stream and on the group page. By Wed I was again getting warning about posting links. I stop posting on my own stream and posted only on the group page. Wed night my account got completely disabled. No one has been responding and all week I have been contacting whomever I can to see why they were blocking me when I was not spamming, I was sharing news. I have since heard from a number of people, both inside and outside of Iran that are having their accounts blocked from certain features or disabled completely like me. I was told "some person/persons" have complained to FB, particularly regarding images of Neda and that facebook is closing down hundreds of accounts that have images of Neda. So this is how facebook is giving power to the people? This is how they help spread information? FB should not be given any credit for being part of the revolution in Iran. The have been an obstacle. And the government of Iran need not worry about FB, when FB will do the dirty work itself and disable accounts that are posting on Iran. I received an email today from someone in Iran, thanking me for gather information and helping keeping them informed in Iran as to what was going on. It broke my heart, because I will no longer be able to offer that service, thanks to FB Marjan Shahkarami My account was disabled yesterday. I have written numerous emails to disabled@facebook.com.
