Politician Suing Facebook Over Lost Primary

Majed Moughni is suing Facebook in the belief that the social network caused him to lose the Republican primary against the longest-serving member of Congress, U.S. Representative John Dingell.

Dearborn, Michigan attorney Majed Moughni is suing Facebook but doesn’t want a single penny from the social network.

Instead, he wants answers: He believes that the social network may have unwittingly contributed to his losing the Republican primary against the longest-serving member of Congress, U.S. Representative John Dingell.

Moughni came in fourth place and had maybe 1,600 friends before Facebook shut down his page. He believes that Facebook shut down his site after he criticized his opponent’s desire to create a resolution together with Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Gallaraga over an umpire’s call denying the player what would have been a perfect game.

None of that comes close to the very logical explanation that the social network has given for shutting down Moughni’s account.
