Facebook Deletes Gossip Mill Nigeria’s Facebook Page With Over 2.6million Fans by WalkerMichael(m): 5:17pm On Jun 22, 2016 |
So on the 22nd of June 2016 I woke up to 2 emails
from the facebook team which read:
Hello,
Your Page “Gossip Mill Nigeria” has been removed for
violating our Terms of Use. A Facebook Page is a
distinct presence used solely for business or
promotional purposes. Among other things, Pages
that are hateful, threatening, or obscene are not

individual or group, or that are set up by an
unauthorized individual. If your Page was removed
for any of the above reasons, it will not be
reinstated. Continued misuse of Facebook’s
features could result in the permanent loss of your
account.
The Facebook Team
Hello,
Because of several prior reports that content on
your Page ( https://www.facebook.com/Gossip-Mill-
Nigeria-229799260559929/
) violates someone else’s intellectual property
rights, this Page has been removed.
You can find further information about intellectual
property issues in our Help Center:

property
Thanks,
The Facebook Team
Shockingly, this Email did not come as a surprise to
me as Gossip Mill Nigeria is practically the fastest
growing Nigerian page on facebook and the most
active as a matter of facts they are only 2 Pages
with more Fans than us Naij with -3million fans and
information Nigeria with 2.8million fans and for a
while now we have been Victims of a series of
senseless Copyright reports from disgruntled Fans
and Competitors.
What these disgruntled fellows do is visit the
facebook Copyright Report Centre create fake
Emails and then file in a series of reports claiming
to be the owners of videos or Photos we have
permissions from the real owners to post, then
facebook innocently takes down the videos thinking
they are protecting the copyright of the content
creator not knowing they are unknowingly doing the
evil biddings of Mischief Makers. After 3 or 4
copyright reports are lodged against your facebook
page it will be deleted or Unpublished by Facebook
both words actually mean the same thing. Early this month these Mischief Makers Created a fake Email and Reported a couple of Mark Angel Comedy series videos and some other videos. I then called Mark Angel and he Categorically told me he never filed any copyright report and that another popular African facebook page named We African Nations was also experiencing a similar Problem. I immediately contacted the facebook team Back by sending a: Copyright Counter Complaint: #130114570721513 Explaining to them that i had permissions from the content creators of the video posted, The videos where then reinstated what was not clear to me was whether it was reinstated by the facebook team or the Person who reported it but that did not actually matter as the damage had already been done as facebook had already placed a 30days ban on my page the instant the videos where initially deleted, I was under this 30days ban but still the Copyright reports kept on pouring in till the Page was eventually Deleted. I respect the fact that facebook Protects the copyright of a content creator but then they leave we the Facebook Page Owners vulnerable as anyone with access to this link ” Copyright Report Centre ” can come to your facebook page and delete any Photo or video he or she feels like deleting, And facebook will not carry out any proper investigation before deleting your page. Something similar happened to sowore of SaharaReporters a while back Read it on Here or Here The Painful Reality is if whoever reported the passport reports one or two more articles on SR’s facebook Page, Facbook will take it down not even bothering to properly investigate what actually transpired. Does this mean no matter the amount of fans you have on facebook your page is completely Worthless and can be deleted at anytime by facebook? Well i then embarked to find answers to this question on the internet and the results i saw was shocking as this kind of Malicious act has been happening for a while now see other similar stories. Redmond Pie’s 240k Facebook Page Taken Down On Bogus Complaint [UPDATE: We’re Back!] Neowin’s Facebook page taken offline – We’re Back! (Again) Facebook Deletes Sitesells Facebook Page Well i then visited the facebook help centre and saw a channel on ” Why Your Page or Content Was Removed” Facebook is not in a position to adjudicate disputes between third parties . If you believe these reports are not being made in good faith or are inaccurate, we suggest you or your legal counsel contact the complaining party to discuss this further. Facebook literally leaves you at the mercy of anyone who decides to wake up one morning and file A Copyright report against you i was even lucky they replied me once (As shown in my Above screenshots) Because i have been trying to contact them back ever since but i keep getting automated Mails or no response at all, Still can not find a way to get to an Actual human being at facebook. Anyone with any useful information on how i can get through to the facebook team can reach me on my Phone number +234 7059938925 or email GossipMillNigeria@ gmail.com Somto Monanu.

Nigerians: breaking copyright laws while trying to justify their shameless behaviour since time immemorial. Abegi, this is service to the community. Those 2.6m Nigerians need jobs so they'd loiter Facebook less. Facebook I'm sure has the means to verify real copyright complaints from fakes so leave matter to Mathias; if they say you're wrong there's very little need to to appeal. |

This is really bad, going by your side of the story tho. Why not try paragraphing your write-up, to make it easier to read. |
