As it turns out, Facebook has disabled QWOC+ Boston’s account and is claiming that we violated some terms of use. This appears to be highly suspect given the number of times we were unable to access the account over the past couple of days, and the number of times an organizer had to request a password reset. We think that they shut us down due to the perception that someone else was trying to gain access to the account.
We need your help! We know how LONG it takes facebook to respond to inquiries – we can’t afford this delay right before pride season – but we also know that they are VERY responsive to grassroot movements. So, we are asking YOU to write to them at disabled@facebook.com with the subject: “Please Re-Enable QWOC Boston’s Facebook Account!” and tell them that they are ridding the community of a very valuable resource just before pride season.
After you’ve done this, please update your facebook/myspace/twitter status with the following message:
Facebook disabled QWOC Boston’s account! Please help them get it re-enabled by emailing disabled@facebook.com with the header “Please Re-Enable QWOC Boston’s Facebook Account!” and a few other kind words about the group! Diversity Speaks. Spread the word.
In the meantime, please check the website/twitter for updates. Our facebook group is still alive and well, so if you hadn’t joined it, now is the time to do so!
