Then I receive this message from Facebook

Hi,
We have noticed that you recently received a warning from our system.

We appreciate your cooperation going forward.

If your inquiry was not related to the warning you received, simply reply to this email and we will assist you further.

Thanks,

Then my reply

If I ever do SPAM, you will know!
There aren't repeated actions on my profile, as you can see if you look!
The only thing that might be considered a repeated action is the response to comments of friends, but the whole purpose of facebook is this: look at point 1 and 3

"Facebook Principles

We are building Facebook to make the world more open and transparent, which we believe will create greater understanding and connection. Facebook promotes openness and transparency by giving individuals greater power to share and connect, and certain principles guide Facebook in pursuing these goals. Achieving these principles should be constrained only by limitations of law, technology, and evolving social norms. We therefore establish these Principles as the foundation of the rights and responsibilities of those within the Facebook Service.

1. Freedom to Share and Connect People should have the freedom to share whatever information they want, in any medium and any format, and have the right to connect online with anyone - any person, organization or service - as long as they both consent to the connection.

2. Ownership and Control of Information ...

3. Free Flow of Information People should have the freedom to access all of the information made available to them by others. People should also have practical tools that make it easy, quick, and efficient to share and access this information."

Are you shure that you understand what you wrote? Freedom to share and free flow of information!

Sorry sirs, but I don't understand. You promote this, then you make people pay! This is wrong!

If you have established a number to what people can do in facebook, just share this information!

Hope you'll improve your relationship with others

Best regards,

Francisco Bexiga
