Suit Charges Religious Discrimination In Closing of Facebook Account

Wednesday's New York Daily News reports on a lawsuit filed in a New York state trial court by a Staten Island man accusing Facebook, among other things, of religious discrimination in closing down his account. Mustafa Fteja, an Albanian Muslim who has lived in the U.S. for 17 years, says that his Facebook account was disabled without explanation and that he received only automated responses from Facebook when he inquired about the situation. The suit asks for $500,000 in damages and restoration of Fteja's personal privileges on Facebook.
