Pierre Fitch has taken to Twitter to vent his frustrations about Grindr after receiving a support-message saying his account had been permanently banned.

By Newsdesk | 8th January 2014

In a tweet directed at @Grindrsupport the porn actor blasted the hook-up app saying:

‘Is this for real I been banned for being my self is this becoming the new Facebook’

The actor and DJ, who has over 61,000 followers on Twitter had been sent a message from Grindr support accusing him of being an impostor; with a lifetime ban on the profile and that it would not be removed.

@Grindrsupport said that they had update his ticket, but Pierre threw back:

‘how long does it take to reply too look at 2 pictures seems long process’

Grindr eventually sorted the issue for the actor, but Fitch remarked:

'Great but Customer Service should be your #1 Priority don't ban unless you know the truth of the matter !! Thanks'

Facebook came under fire last week after it ban users who had posted a picture of two men kissing.

Admins for the Facebook group 'Have A Gay Day' had been banned after some users reported the above picture as being offensive. Facbeook claimed it “violates community standards.”

The social media giant then had a u-turn saying that the photo was removed in error and has since been restored.
