Facebook screws up again: blocks founder of popular Marriage Equality page after homophobes complained

Murray Lipp, the founder of the Gay Marriage USA Facebook page, which has 300,000 fans, was barred from posting content to his page he for a week following a notice from Facebook that he violated the company's "policies and community standards" after an apparent campaign by homophobic subscribers to his page.

Lipp claimed that he has been reprimanded by Facebook numerous times over the past year following complaints that he perceived to have originated from homophobic subscribers to his page. He told the Guardian: "Not once has Facebook ever contacted me to give me an opportunity to respond – it simply blocks me each time and each time the block is for a longer period of time. It's totally unjust that I should be punished for someone else's homophobia."

     Only after one of the largest and most influential newspapers in Britain, The Guardian, contacted Facebook about the situation, did it relent and reinstate the Gay Marriage USA page.
     Earlier this month, Facebook had to apologize for deleting of content containing the word "faggot," posted by PinkNews' report on a homophobic outburst made by the singer Azealia Banks.
     After that, several PinkNews staff members were temporarily blocked from Facebook.
