Facebook Sued For $1

Some time in February of this year, David Fagin noticed he was suddenly being blocked from sending friend requests on Facebook after the social networking giant for whatever reason labeled him as a ‘spammer’.

When it happened again, Facebook told Fagin that he was in danger of getting his account wiped out completely to boot.

Fagin, an AOL News writer, subsequently penned an opinion piece, in which he claims being called a ‘spammer’ is humiliating, equivalent to being labeled an online pickpocket or con artist.

This morning, he announced he is suing Facebook for $1 (documents not available yet).

Fagin is clearly irked because he’s not able to directly contact Facebook’s support team:

“Some might say ‘What’s the big deal? It’s just a stupid social networking site,’” says Fagin.

“But, when you’re talking about arguably the biggest online presence the world has ever seen, one that’s currently worth more than Microsoft, and there’s no way to reach a live human being, that might be something for the FTC and/or congress to at least think about.”

At least we know that he isn't suing Facebook for money. Check TechCrunch for the full story
