A person who won a legal battle once morest social media giant Facebook was awarded $50,000 (Rs 40.94 lakh) as compensation. The lawsuit was filed once morest Facebook by Jason Crawford from Georgia, USA. He filed a complaint stating that Facebook denied him access to his account without any clear reason. Moreover, the company refused to cooperate with Jason to resolve the issue.
“I think it’s bad business practice. It’s a bad way to treat people. At least tell me what I did wrong.” – Jason Crawford told Fox News. Repeated attempts to contact Facebook’s parent company Meta (META) were also unsuccessful. Jason also stated that he decided to file the case.
In the past, Jason had received a warning from Facebook for political comments. But this time, the Facebook account was completely locked without any explanation. ‘One Sunday morning when I woke up and tried to open the Facebook app, I mightn’t, only to find that my account had been locked. The platform gave me a short and cryptic message stating that I had violated their standards of sexually exploiting children. – Jason said.
Jason stated that he took the path of the law when there were no other ways to prove his innocence. He, who is also a lawyer, filed a complaint once morest Facebook in August 2022. The suit is once morest him being denied entry on the basis of a violation that never occurred.
However, there was no response from Facebook’s legal team despite the court action. A judge ordered Meta to pay Crawford $50,000 as a result of his failure to respond. The tech giant eventually approached him.
Jason Crawford later came forward to show that he got justice and got his account back. But he says his motivation to take legal action was not the monetary compensation he received. Instead, he added, his goal was to teach Facebook a lesson for its lack of transparency and failure to respond.
