Facebook freezes 10,300 strong Bradley Manning Support Network - Polidicks

[url=http://www.bradleymanning.org/10224/what-happened-to-our-facebook-page-with-10000-supporters/]Source[/url] [release]For those of you following along on facebook.com/savebradley (over 10,000 friends!) you might notice that the URL leads to a dead page. The page can now be found at [url]https://www.facebook.com/pages/savebradley/114129961964452?ref=ts[/url] You’ll notice that the page, with over 10,300 supporters, is rather quiet. That’s because the Bradley Manning Support Network’s administrative rights to the page have been revoked due to a “violation of the terms of service.” We have not violated the terms of service.Facebook We are currently unable to post information or links on the page. Other users (non-admins) can post to the wall, but the administrators of the page cannot. We have sent a letter of appeal to Facebook instructing them to reinstate our publishing privileges immediately. As of this writing, we have gotten no response. We have not even received information on how to appeal this restriction. With just days to go before our International Days of Action, this could not happen at a worse time. We encourage everyone who wants to stay up to date on the campaign to: 1. Join our mailing list: [url]http://www.bradleymanning.org/what-can-i-do/stay-in-touch/[/url] 2. Follow @savebradley on Twitter: [url]https://twitter.com/savebradley[/url] 3. Follow our alternate Facebook pages. By friending all of the pages, we can help insulate our message from arbitrary corporate policies that would attempt to hamstring our message. Please friend: 1. [url]https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bradley-Manning-is-a-Hero/123440917693180?ref=ts[/url] 2. [url]https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bradley-Manning-Support-Network/141016299252357?ref=t[/url] 3. [url]https://www.facebook.com/couragetoresist?ref=ts[/url] We are also asking that individuals use their own social networking profiles like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to promote the International Days of Action. We have high hopes that the admin rights to the page will be restored, but we are frustrated at how this delay will hamper our ability to communicate with supporters during the International Days of Action. We have only a brief window of time in which to effectively rouse worldwide support for Manning; every day in this campaign matters. The newest obstruction from Facebook is very disruptive to our campaign. If any supporters have individual contacts at Facebook, please email support [at] bradleymanning [dot] org. UPDATE (9/14/10) Currently, no one is able to post to the main supporters page any link to our website [url]www.bradleymanning.org[/url]. Individuals attempting to do so get a pop-up window from Facebook stating that the link they are attempting to post is being reported as “abusive.”[/release] [editline]05:42PM[/editline] I personally, am not involved, at least at the moment, with the said campaign.

Step by step guide to piss off users and start brewing a massive internet shitstorm: 1) This.

I just "liked" it. Doesn't seem frozen to me.

It's a conspiracy the American government is trying to take over the internet

Oh yeah, Manning's the fellow who US Government accuses of the recent leaks (Afghan, that Helicopter vid, etc.). Just in case anyone's forgotten/didn't know.

[QUOTE=faze;24840970]Good guy, IMO.[/QUOTE] until he leaks stuff like missile tracking schematics or sells weapon and vehicle blueprints to the highest bidder. Edit: which is why the military is worried about this. if he can leak stuff like this, then what is stopping him from leaking stuff like what I said?

[QUOTE=faze;24840970]Good guy, IMO.[/QUOTE] Leaking classified data all over the internet is a good thing now? Some people....

Where is the DISGUNBGUD.GIF when you need it? :v:

They went against rules of engagement. The rules say "don't engage unless the enemy engages you." They clearly did not fire at them first, Americans fired first. Mr. Manning leaked that video.

Why is it a big deal some retard got himself and his party shot by 30mm? [editline]07:33PM[/editline] ROE differs between forces. The choppers were circling 5-10 clicks away. None of the weapons the party was carring woudl've reached them.

That group or page is just as bad as the one calling for Lil Wayne's early release. Ridiculous.

Even though I don't agree what they did with the helicopter, It was classified and he has broken a law.

Very murky argument we can have here, on the one hand its classified to protect the people working covertly, on the other hand a fair amount of this information is classified because it is against the ROE, numerous crimes shielded under the guise of a supposed national secret. Very murky indeed.

America with national secrets? Never. Wait...

[QUOTE=faze;24842340]Why hover around? They had infantry in there within a few minutes.[/QUOTE] they had a fucking convoy under attack 2 blocks away.

And the reporters quite likely didn't know about it. Now, let's not go there shall we?
