Recently Facebook deleted some of my statuses written in Bangla (Bengali), when a group of religious fanatics collectively targeted me (and some other freethinkers on Facebook) to report our "clean" statuses as 'spam'. I am asking Facebook to restore all of my deleted statuses:
To the Facebook Customer Service Department,
For the past year, I, like thousands of other activists living in Bangladesh and abroad, have been using Facebook as a means to rally support for free speech movements and other causes in Bangladesh. Recently, I found that many of my important statuses have been deleted, without any notification. I am under the impression that certain radical Islamist groups collectively reported my statuses as "spam" or as "abusive language", but, as I will explain, this is far from the truth....
The complete letter is here:
Please read it, share it and raise your concern. Facebook cannot and should not delete content without some kind of transparent investigation. And instead of playing the part of a blind executioner, Facebook should provide reasons behind its actions and notify the user before rashly deleting a post or comment.
