I received this letter from a law student. It gives us an idea of just what we are up against. This best illustrates the chokehold the left has on every aspect of our culture.
I am contacting you so that maybe you can bring some attention to an issue of censorship practiced by Facebook. In particular the Facebook staff has deleted my accounts several times for creating/participating in groups critical of Islam. One such group that created a huge stir was "Fuck Islam" - prompting a wave of Muslim threats and counter groups threatening not only the safety of Facebook staff, but threatening to leave Facebook altogether. In response to these threats, Facebook deleted the group, and my administrator account. Their pretext was that the name was so bitterly offensive, it could not possibly have been created in accordance with Facebook's terms of use. As for deleting my account, no explanation was given. I created another group, entitled "The Society for the Eradication of Islam" - with a clear explanation that the goal was to counter the Islamic ideology, not to harass Muslims. This group was deleted after less than a week and 6 members, along with my other account. The irony is that groups such as "Fuck Christianity" and "Fuck Judaism" are still up and running with no complaint and no warnings issued whatsoever. To my knowledge these groups have never been seriously challenged by Facebook. Ironically enough, Facebook seemed to be concerned that there was a lot of hate speech being propagated by members of "Fuck Islam" - it is ironic because these instigators were Muslims who joined the group, and threatened to kill people.In the scheme of things this probably isn't huge news - but I think it is important to expose Facebook for these "discretionary" abuses of its power. As it stands there are no groups on Facebook critical of Islam, only splintered people posting in other groups. Furthermore, Facebook has become a powerhouse for commercial interaction, and while they do reserve the rights to pretty much do anything they please, it seems that for people who choose to create business platforms or engage in commercial transactions, the potential of having an account deleted with no explanation or warning is problematic and dishonest practice.P.S. I am a law student and I have been fed up with Facebook for a long time. I know you faced many legal challenges for your advertisements against Islam. I realize this is a novel situation but perhaps there can be some novel legal solution here for such censorship - based on commercial transactions. Furthermore, contacting Facebook is impossible by virtually all means, and it impossible to speak with a real person. Again, I admit this seems like a trivial matter, but when a giant powerhouse of social and commercial interactions spanning state lines and international boundaries begins to censor it's materials capriciously or under threats of duress, there must be some larger legal implications.I also attended both of your rallies on June 6th and Sept 11th. I want to thank you for having autographed my copy of your latest book.Thanks for reading and hopefully you will get back to me. If not, I appreciate you taking the time to read this.-George Lasker
