Facebook Dictatorship?

"Hi Giuseppe,
 
[he is not me, but a 62 years old person on Facebook, whose account that has been definitively disabled. I can trust he is a good person, and I know he's not using the Facebook tools for personal use but for a public purpose. He's founder of the "The medicines of soul" initiative and writer of several books on the ageing problems. . And this is the mail he received from the Fb team]
 
Facebook has limits in place to prevent behavior that other users may find annoying or abusive. These limits restrict the rate at which you can use certain features on the site. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with the specific rates that have been deemed abusive.
Your account has been disabled because you exceeded Facebook's limits on multiple occasions when sending friend requests, despite having been warned to slow down. After further review of your account, we have determined that you violated our Terms of Use by misusing our site features to harass other users. We will not be able to reactivate your account for any reason. This decision is final.
Thanks for your understanding".


This mail (and reason) is simply dreadful.

 

Addendum

The "original sin", as explained by the Facebook team, should be that there're been a lot of friendship requests sent to persons belonging to the groups created by Giuseppe. The problem is that this behaviour, that Facebook considers not accorded to their rules, has not discontinued despite the "advices" sent (in english language, by the way, to an italian person). And it has created the situation described, where the whole account of Giuseppe has been completely and "definitively" canceled.
