Dear members:
It has come to the attention of the administrators of this group that we have been the subject of a malicious ploy. It has emerged, after concerns about the authenticity of the person representing Facebook have been raised, that the person in question is an impostor and does not represent Facebook.

- Dear members:
I am here to deliver news that is actually amazing in one way, but upsetting for me and has put me in a state of awe. I would like to first thank you all for ur infinite support, for this group.
It has proven to us that we can all come together, and build a community that can conquer any act of oppression that impedes our free speech. Many have been asking for verification of the violation of terms that we received from "adminstartor josh." Contacting facebook long ago, they finally replied to me with a conclusive investigational report saying that this account is in no way affiliated with the facebook team. Therefore, we have been fooled and duped by this certain individual (or individuals).
i am apologizing for this stir that occurred, but i must say i have learned much about the community we have on facebook, and about free speech on the internet.This actually brings to light the ban of free speech from governments on citizens in countries mentioned above on the internet, and the struggles they all have to fight in cyber space. I am listing two websites that are examples of the struggles this group have shed light on, please check them out:
----http://www.rsf.org/
----http://www.politechbot.com/
i am sorry facebook was being misrepresented, i apologize for the inconvenience. I am asked to remove any comments that misrepresent facebook, and might have to remove the group, or rename it in a way to have an open group that discusses government's control of free speech on the internet.
Members, please contact me and the administrators with your feedback. It would be greatly appreciated.
ArabTBLG,
Dima Mo.
OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM FACEBOOK:
Hi Dima,
It appears that you have been contacted by a user with the name "Adminstrator Josh" about a group you created on our site. This person was posing as a Facebook employee and is in no way affiliated with the company.
We have not been contacted by any governments about your group, and we will not remove it unless it violates one of our standard guidelines for abuse on the site, which it appears it does not.
We have disabled the account of the person who contacted you. In addition,however, we ask that you issue a retraction on the page for your group "The official Petition to prevent Arab LBTG from being shut down" and remove any content from the group or your profile that misrepresents Facebook in any way. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation on this, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Simon
