A Staten Island man is poking Facebook with a $500,000 lawsuit for disabling his account.

Mustafa Fteja said his account was disabled without explanation this past September, cutting off his access to friends and family around the world, as well as to personal memories and photos.

“That was how I stayed in touch with people,” said Fteja, who estimated he had about 340 friends when he was inexplicably cut off.

Fteja, 39, said he’s pressed the company for months to find out what happened, but to no avail.

“You call, they don’t answer the phone. You write, they don’t reply,” he said – leaving him no choice but to go to court to get what he considers his property back.

“I lived in a communist country where people had no rights. This looks the same to me,” the Montenegro native said.

“I’m not doing this for money. I’m doing this for justice. I believe there should be some, somewhere,” he said.

Fteja said he’d been using Facebook for about three years, mainly to keep in touch with family and friends in Montenegro, Albania, Germany and Austria.

He found out he’d been cut off from his outside world this past Sept. 24, when he tried to sign on to his account, but couldn’t. After a few more attempts, the site told him his account had been “disabled.”

He tried to find out why, but ony got a form e-mail back two weeks later telling him he’d somehow violated the terms of the Facebook agreement. The social network typically cuts off users if they’ve posted objectionable content, or are suspected of spamming. Fteja said he didn’t post anything objectionable, and he’s no spammer.

“I know one thing – I didn’t do anything. I didn’t violate anything,” he said, adding he wouldn’t be suing if he had.

“Did someobody hack my account? I don’t know. If it’s that someobody hacked my account, Facebook should help me. If you have a problem with your AOL login, AOL helps you. Not Facebook,” he said.

Since the site didn’t inform his “friends” that his account had been disabled, many assumed he’d defriended them.

“I don’t know if you’re mad at me or what’s going on,” one female friend told him in a voicemail.

His suit notes that Fteja is Muslim, and charges Facebook with religious discrimination.

“You don’t treat people like that,” he said. “They make a lot of money from the people. Why treat your customers like that?”

His suit seeks money damages – and the restoration of his account. “While the requested service is free, the plaintiff has spent timeless hours creating content and relationships [Facebook] benefitted from,” the suit says.

Facebook did not respond to e-mails for comment.
