Punished by Facebook
Dear readers and subscribers of Opera Gazet,
Since early April—almost a month now—we have been at war with Facebook, which has not only taken action against my personal account but has also significantly limited Opera Gazet’s publicity options.
As punishment.
Our IT expert and I have made frantic attempts to figure out what we might have done wrong. “You have violated the rules” was usually the meaningless response. As for exactly which rules, “they couldn’t say anything about that.”
Once, a chat-happy Facebook employee let slip that there were “too many complaints.” From whom and about what remains a mystery.
I do have a hunch where the “many complaints” are coming from —namely, from those who are covertly working against us— but I can’t prove anything, so speculating about it seems pointless.
Facebook’s latest announcement was that our suspension would end on May 16. We’ll see.
We hope to be able to serve you freely again after May 16.
Condemnati te salutant.
