Majed Moughni Suing Facebook For Disabling His Campaign Account

Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni is suing Facebook because he says he lost his bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. John Dingell in 2010, in part, because he lost his Facebook account.

A Facebook spokesman says Moughni’s Facebook page was flagged for “suspicious or anomalous behaviors,” and that the Facebook system automatically sent out warnings before Moughni’s account was disabled. Moughni claims he was simply sending out as many friend requests as possible in an attempt to build his base.

Moughni has a new Facebook page, which states that he filed the suit on behalf of “thousands of users have had their accounts de-activated without any recourse” and is seeking an injunction forcing Facebook to halt the practice.
