FACEBOOK HAS DELETED BOYCOTT BP, LEAVING ALMOST 800,000 FANS HANGING

CNN iReport —

As recently as 30 minutes ago, Facebook has removed the main "Boycott BP" from its page. With this, it leaves almost 800,000 fans hanging.

This group was created with the intent of sending a clear and strong message to BP and to Washington that what has happened in the Gulf has to stop everywhere.

People from all over the world shared video clips, pictures, and frustration over what has been seen incredibly slow process to an ever growing economic and environmental disaster.

Boycott BP and it's creator, Lee Perkins, have been focused in several interviews recently, one of which was done with Diane Sawyer. To say he has made a large impact in a short amount of time is an understatement.

The question is: Why did Facebook suddenly take down the site? Some will call it a media black out of what is really happening down here in the Gulf. Some might say he was doing more harm than good given the fact that the Boycotting of BP was actually beginning to take hold if you judge by some of the photos and videos being posted of station owners either changing to a new brand, or closing altogether.

Whichever way you look at it, the voices of the people were being heard in a most unique and powerful way. We felt we were making a difference.

If we were not, then why the sudden removal of the page?

UPDATE: Lee Perkins has put a new Facebook Page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boycott-bpARCO/138332356184294?ref=mf#!/pages/Boycott-bpARCO/138332356184294?v=wall&ref=mf

His Quote:

"Boycott bp/ARCO I can't believe they shut us down with no explanation. I could not even say goodbye to my friends. We must have been doing something right. Calling the media now. bayoulee.com is up and running. ty Bayou Lee"

UPDATE:

As of early this morning (June 29th), Facebook restored the original "Boycott BP" to Lee Perkins and it's many fans:

Facebook status = ?

::Sigh:: I really wanted this blog to be about running & weight loss, but my relationship drama seems to have taken a front seat.

This morning I go on facebook, as usual and check my messages, notifications, etc. Kevin said he was posting a thing on meat to my wall because I was going to pick up some meat to grill for him for dinner tonight. I notice that our anniversary date is removed from my page. I then also notice that he no longer has a relationship status on his page. HE REMOVED ME. I mean, I guess he didn't put he was single, or that its complicated, but he just erased (he said Hid) me away from his profile. I was so upset, I called him & he called me back & told me he just wanted to keep things private. He removed his birthdate year, our relationship, etc because he didn't think it was anyone's business. Umm helloooo our status has been on facebook for the past 5 years, and now all the sudden you decide you want it private? WHO CARES if people know we're in a relationship, everyone knows already. We fought on the phone for 30 min, he said if it was that big a deal he would put it back. I mean seriously, how did he think I would react. He didn't even let me know, I found out by looking at his profile. Am I over reacting here?

Work was tough, my foot is killing me, I think I'm going to go swimming for a little bit & lay out since its GORGEOUS outside. We are grilling tonight for dinner, then staying in before an early morning to Vermont tomorrow.
