Man Sues Facebook for $500,000 over “Religious Discrimination”

A Staten Island Facebook user is suing the social network after it cut off his account with apparently no warning. Thirty-nine-year-old Mustafa Fteja lost contact with his roughly 340 Facebook friends, losing a valuable connection to the world, his suit claims. And now the site won’t respond.

“You call, they don’t answer the phone,” said Fteja. “You write, they don’t reply.” The man also noted that he was Muslim in the $500,000 lawsuit, stating that religious discrimination may have played a role in the company’s decision. “I’m not doing this for money,” Fteja told reporters. “I’m doing this for justice. I believe there should be some, somewhere.”

Fteja’s account was cut off on September 24th. When he reached out to the site, he received a form letter stating that he had violated Facebook’s terms of service. “I know one thing,” says Fteja. ” I didn’t do anything. I didn’t violate anything.”
