Dear Mr. Zuckerberg:
Recently I was banned form my account. An email from Meta made an outrageous and libelous accusation on June 19, 2025, and I appealed. On June 24, 2025 I got an email saying my Facebook doesn’t follow the rules and had a button to “view details” and asked me to fix these issues or request a review. However, since my account was blocked the button just went to the block notice and I could neither fix issues or request a review. It seems your operations are incompetent.
I am not writing to request my account renewed. I do research and my novel topics will likely trip up your incompetent AI again, and I will be facing some new warning. For those with innovative content, it is a poor decision to invest time into Facebook.
I noticed that a certain genre had a fan in Africa showing that this East Asian genre was truly global. I did a report on it, and when I shared it with Facebook, it was supposedly a misleading post, unless I removed a graphic in my post about the Nigerian fan. If someone is reporting on something new, I speculate that your AI trained on the old will not evaluate it properly. The consequence I think is that people in the vanguard of new ideas will likely run afoul of your AI.
I have noticed that though I post in Facebook, my new Substack readers primarily come from other platforms. I saw a lot of advertising posts in my Facebook feed, and less of my Facebook friends. Facebook is for those who think photographing and posting their meal is a big deal. I had already reduced my engagement about 90% before the banning, your algorithms are always seeing some problem.
I am requesting that I can get the content for “LGBT for Taiwan” and my “Tu Shen – Journey to the West” group restored to me and LGBT for Taiwan paused. I had done a lot of research and placed it in these groups and I can place the content in my Substack newsletter. Though if I don’t get the content, it will be an example on how you can invest time and resources into Facebook and just lose it all though some inane Facebook decision.
Another reason I shouldn’t get my account restored is that it would be hypocritical of me to get my account restored, while the Meta Massacre is wiping out Gay artists and I express sympathy for these Gay artists and also advise them to go to other platforms. The reaction of Gay artists and others would be that I should take my own advice.
I should instead focus on getting new venues for the Gay community. I need to develop alternative ways of reaching my goals since Facebook isn’t a feasible avenue to reach my audience. Perhaps I need to learn how to set one up on Discord.
Further, I think Facebook is basically bad for the Gay community.
The only need I have now days for Facebook is to find out what someone is saying on Facebook when I am researching some hateful group. I am sure I can get someone to do that for me. Additionally, always having to request volunteers for research on Facebook to see what hateful groups are doing on Facebook will be a way of continuously warning the Gay public about the folly of investing time into Facebook.
So, what is the purpose of this letter? I am going to request that you cease to treat Facebook members capriciously and unfairly with the following demands.
1. The person being suspended, or having a post removed should know precisely what it is and not referred to a lengthy and, in my opinion, very vaguely worded [standards] such that the person being penalized has only the vaguest guesses what it is.
2. No penalty should be applied until it is reviewed by a person who has time to judiciously review it. Not some person who is rushed to clear so many cases an hour.
3. If Facebook does a review and the individual feels that the review was invalid, there should be a couple more levels of review.
4. Persons who don’t fit the Facebook platform, but not of malicious intent, should be able to leave a link to their new platform. Individuals shouldn’t be annihilated without a trace. Many Gay artists would have thousands or tens of thousands of followers and then lose it all.
5. There needs to be some spaces created in Facebook for communities that are different in their ideas of what standards there should be from society in general.
I don’t want to be back on Facebook unless there is justice and fair play for all Facebook uses.
From the behavior of Facebook towards individuals, I think your policy is that to keep costs down, you just act recklessly and without concerns if it penalizes many Facebook users or terminates many accounts without justification. I don’t think you will do any good faith effort in response to any of my requests. But I want to go on record asking.
My thinking is that the Gay community, except for the dull ones, should leave Facebook, and I am starting the campaign to do so this week. I don’t want to hear from some Facebook public relations flak that I should have contacted you with my concerns. This letter is contacting you with my concerns.
Given that I am in the news, am a published academic author, and active in community affairs, my disappearance will help people to understand Facebook is a bad investment of time if you want to do much more than post a photograph of your cat, restaurant meal, or a sunset on Facebook.
I also expect to get Gays to get off Facebook through persuasion. Since you are pushing off a lot of the more interesting Gays from Facebook, helping me in this goal already, I think this won’t be hard to do.
If I use a slogan such as, “Facebook must die,” I mean that Facebook should meet the same fate as Myspace or Yahoo. Any statements I make will be rhetorical in intent and nothing else.
On Facebook I have seen that a great many people have suffered penalties which they say were unfair or they simply have no idea why they were penalized. There are a great many people who feel wronged by Facebook. I am sure there will be many more people who feel Facebook has wrong them in the future. As a consequence, I see a lot of opportunity.
When I was a process engineer in semiconductors, we had a saying, that every disaster is an opportunity. I certainly see that as the case with this banning.
Sincerely Yours,
Edward H. Sebesta
