Jihad furious at Facebook
 Jihad Meroueh, a French-Lebanese who lives in southern France, has tried on many occasions to create a Facebook account, but his request has been turned down repeatedly.Meroueh told a French newspaper, Le Dauphiné Libéré, "I signed up to get a Facebook account and then Facebook contacted me by e-mail. I was told that my registration has been blocked because of my identity! I was asked to justify my identity by sending the copy of my ID, photos and others official documents! It is insane!" He added, "Right, my name means Holy war but is it for this reason that I was rejected by Facebook? They behave like I am a terrorist, it is outrageous! I am not against the check of identity but if I am asked to prove my identity that should be asked for anyone." Mereouh's next move is to file a lawsuit against Facebook for discrimination if the company does not provide a clear justification for having refused his registration. Posted by: ryuge 2011-06-15 |
