Facebook Purges UK Pages

Stephen Hershey

Late last week, dozens of UK Facebook profile pages were suddenly deleted due to their supposed violation of the network's terms of agreement.

"London Student Assembly," "Socialist Unity," "Comrade George Orwell," and more activist-themed pages were targets of this mass deletion.

When contacted, Facebook stated that such groups must be developed as a "page" and not a "profile," and gave instructions on a simple conversion process. However, due to the nature of content and the timing of the purge--just before last weekend's much-hyped Royal wedding--some users feel the purge was a preemptive strike to prevent activsts from disrupting the event.

Not surprising.

Facebook is just another corporate company running on egocentric imaginations, playing with the ideas of the individual. They may justify their actions as a violation of their terms but I'm sure the reasoning digs much deeper.

Submitted by willnmzo on Sun, 07/22/2012 - 02:37.
This site seems dirty. Somehow a cybernetic society doesn’t fit right. Alienation and a constant stare over user controlled media instead of channel surfing. If this is the future then the progression gives the feeling that this is going to be abhorrent. If were going to marry the machine with mind at this stage in the game, then god save us. The monkeys are out of control and it’s making a sane life harder for the rest of us who prefer thoughtfulness over fear.
