Man Sues Facebook for $500,000 for Cutting Him Off
This seems entirely reasonable: A man named Mustafa Fteja is suing Facebook for $500,000 for disabling his account, which works out to $1500 per friend.
In seeking $500,000, Fteja is suing Facebook for disabling his account, in which he had about 340 friends and family and had spent “timeless hours creating content and relationships [Facebook] benefitted from,” the suit contends. He wants it back on, and he wants the company to pay for the damage of alienating him from his family and friends (about $1500 per friend/family).
“I had the Facebook for one purpose — to keep in contact with my family,” Fteja told The Daily News. His access to Facebook, he said, stopped in September, and repeated pleas to the company were for the most part unanswered, except for a generic e-mail sent to him two weeks later telling him he violated the terms of the Facebook agreement. These notices usually go to accounts suspected of being fake or uploading malicious content, or that “infringes or violates someone else’s rights or otherwise violates the law.”
