(it should be noted that facebook did respond to this and fixed this situation)
the next letter in to one of to Applications of facebook:
facebook informed me that my old account on facebook was disabled because they didn't like me inviting people. I had a lot of friends and was not marketing anything. at any rate I need to update my FLIXSTER account to this facebook profile .
I stopped using this account when I lost access to it on facebook. you need to fix this issue. I have talked to other services that work with facebook for example Yedda... and they have the ability to do this and did. I happened to know the people who ran Yedda... but I know for a fact if you wanted to you could fix this issue.

You would need to reactivate the old Facebook account, then upgrade to a Flixster account.

ah now the truth comes out. but the truth is facebook has been doing things that are not respectable. I was thrown off for using my own contact list to contact my own people. Can I help it that I know 7000? I was social before social networks.
I don't know if you were following the news... but Robert Scoble beat facebook on this same issue... so they are now reviewing the situation. If they do not take my side.... I WILL take legal action, because I believe that disabling someone for using their own contacts when they are not marketing a product is a form of Libel. It might be a good idea to work with me here... because your company could be seen as cooperating with a very illicit operation. Believe it or not... I'm not the only one who is very upset with the way facebook is treating people's information.
maybe you didn't hear about the "Beacon" either... but facebook is not loved by people right now.
the social networks need to understand that our contact information is our own... and we were just nice enough to share it with you. as I am speaking the industry is splintering because people are very tired of being bullied. Big name A-listers are talking about creating their own social networks with the new open social platform being proposed. I'm friends with many of those people and believe me they might like to know how flixster operates with it's users.

Noah -
It's not that we can't do this; we simply choose not to. We respect Facebook's decisions to shut down individual users' accounts, and will not build an interface enabling banned users to migrate data. Whether to allow this is up to the discretion of each individual application.
