Facebook reverses takedown of 'Elizabeth Warren Wiki' page exposing her Cherokee and other controversies
[Legal Insurrection] The Facebook page went live in February 2013, at the same time that ElizabethWarrenWiki.org went live.

The takedown was based on the plainly false claim that the Facebook page violated Facebook’s "Impersonation" policy:

We clearly do not violate this policy. The Wiki page does not purport to "impersonate" Warren ‐ the title of the page specifically has "Wiki" in it indicating it is not purporting to be Elizabeth Warren. Beyond the title, the "About" section makes the following disclosures (which are what the Facebook policy says should be done ‐ see above)...
Mission
Elizabeth Warren Wiki's mission is to be the most comprehensive repository of information and links regarding Elizabeth Warren, United States Senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Wiki site is not affiliated with Senator Warren or her campaign.

So the Elizabeth Warren Wiki Facebook Page in its title relates to Elizabeth Warren Wiki, which has been in existence since February 2013, does not purport to be Elizabeth Warren, and just so there is no confusion, has disclosures of the type Facebook specifically says should be made.

Nonetheless, the page was taken down without warning based on a false claim that it violated Facebook’s Impersonation policy.

The takedown generated substantial media and social media attention.
