12 Year-Old’s Facebook Page Locked After Posting Viral Video Questioning Obama’s Love of Country

Last week, Conservative teen CJ Pearson, an African-American middle-schooler, posted an epic defense of New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s repeated claims that President Barack Obama “doesn’t love America.”

***
On Friday, C.J. Pearson, a 12-year-old conservative from Georgia who posted a viral video supporting Rudy Giuliani, discovered that his personal Facebook page was locked. In an exclusive interview with Examiner.com on Saturday, Pearson said he received a message from someone about 6 a.m. Friday. That’s when he learned his account and page had been locked for “suspicious activity.”

That old Bill of Rights is obsolete---written 200 years ago by some old white men.

We are now governed by "intellectual" liberals who decide what those first 10 amendments mean and who they apply to.

And they do not apply to you and me.

So, Facebook found it suspicious that a Black kid doesn't view Obama as The Messiah?

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. I'm waiting for the COC to be revised to disallow the "fuck the President with a rusty chainsaw" comments that seem to be the only thing posters can articulate anymore in so many threads of late.

What does how a private company handles their property have to do with the Bill of Rights?




Do you find the moderation on arfcom to be infringing on your rights?

Unless Facebook has changed their policy, a 12 year olds page should be locked, if they admit they are 12.  They have (used to have) a policy that you have to be 13 to create an account.

Very hard to claim you were shut down for your views, when your entire presence is a volition of policy, and cause to be locked down.

I'm going to assume there is more to the story until it's shown otherwise.  Pretty sure people post political stuff on Facebook all the time.

If FB locked it because FB says so then whatever. If FB locked it because they have been told to block such activity by the government then that would be a major issue. However all I see in the article is what the kid said, with no proof of anything.

Yep. If he was 12, he was violating Facebook's TOS, and deserved to have his account locked.

I think you officially have to be 13 to be on FB.  I had a friend start a "baby" account to announce their pregnancy.  They friended a whole bunch of people and FB shut down the page.

its private but if you look at the investors and the technology a lot of it came from various dept of the .gov.  if you read a lot about the company parts of it start to leak it. I've read things here and there that basically came out and talked about the funding and start up.

Even if that were true, it wouldn't apply in this case because Facebook doesn't allow anyone under the age of 13 to post anything, regardless of its political orientation.

I'm pretty sure 12 year olds aren't allowed to have Facebook per their ToS.

Plus, 12 year olds are pretty much indirectly forbidden by U.S. law to interact or sign up on a site like Facebook, chat rooms, or forums like this by the COPPA. To make it legal the site would need their parents to sign and fax in a form that gave them permission to share personal information.
