Facebook should recognize Timor Leste - a Country in the United Nations and international community worthy of equal rights and privileges.
After enduring 25 years of genocide, 250,000 deaths and ongoing oppression East Timor (Timor Timor) ...a little island just north of Darwin, Australia broke away from Indonesia to become a newly recognized nation by the United Nations.
As of the writing of this petition in 2012, Timor Leste has been a country 10 years now, but Facebook has failed to recognize Timor Leste in its countries menu for geographical locations.
Please kindly sign this petition urging Facebook to recognize and add Timor Leste as a country on their website.
Social Media should be globally inclusive and not discriminatory.
Otherwise if Facebook cannot be globally inclusive of all nations in the world, it should not promote itself as a "global" network, neither should the peoples of the world use it as such.
Dear Facebook,
If you desire to keep your present status as a social media outlet and website for the international community, then Facebook must recognize Timor Leste - a country in the United Nations and international community worthy of equal rights and privileges.
After enduring 25 years of genocide, 250,000 deaths and ongoing oppression East Timor (Timor Timor) ...a little island just north of Darwin, Australia broke away from Indonesia to become a newly recognized nation by the United Nations.
As of the writing of this petition in 2012, Timor Leste has been a country 10 years now, but Facebook has failed to recognize Timor Leste in its countries menu for geographical locations.
Please kindly recognize and add Timor Leste as a country on your website and countries drop down menu boxes for geographical locations and preferences.
Social Media should be globally inclusive and not discriminatory.
Otherwise if Facebook cannot be globally inclusive of all nations in the world, it should not promote itself as a "global" network, neither should the peoples of the world use it as such.
I / we urge Facebook to take immediate action and recognize Timor Leste during the historic 10 year anniversary of its membership as a country within the United Nations and global community.
Sincerely,
