The controversy still looms over my Facebook account getting suspended for undisclosed reasons. Many people are asking the question - what would cause Facebook to suspend my account? It is the same question that I have been asking for the past few days with no official response yet from Facebook.
A new theory for this reason was proposed to me today regarding my usage of the Starman logo of the classic 2112 album. I had initially speculated that perhaps I had created a copyright infringement issue. However, there are numerous Facebook groups who are using this logo and these groups, including the "Supporters of Rush Becoming Inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" group, are still in existence. Why would my account alone and not any of the groups be removed then?
The theory proposed to me, however, was quite interesting. What if it was not a copyright infringement issue at all? What if the issue is the nude, but non-explicit, form of the Starman? Is it possible that my account was suspended over a "butt shot"? This would be perhaps the most shocking revelation of them all. The insinuation being that this image is somehow indecent or even pornographic, and that itself would be a violation of the terms of service.
Of course, for such a theory to be true, then the same prior logic must apply. Others are using the logo. Why are they not suspended? Why are these images still being used? Why are the groups using these images not removed?
It is shame that people must engage in speculation over such controversies. Facebook should explain themselves regardless of what happens afterwards. Hopefully, there is someone at Facebook who is investigating whatever allegations were made regarding my account and that my account is rightfully restored. We don't want to be talking about Facebook. We want to talk about Rush and their right to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I guess we must all wait and see. Until then, I'll keep everyone posted.
