Malaysia & Meta’s removing posts of Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination
Malaysia PM upset over Meta ‘removing’ Facebook post on Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination
The Prime Minister of Malaysia has reacted sharply to the ‘removal’ of Facebook post on Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination.
PM Anwar Ibrahim said that the company, Meta, that runs Facebook, has acted unfairly and removed the post, showing the ‘cowardice’ of the social media company. He said that a clear message has been given to Meta to stop such acts. On Facebook, Anwar Ibrahim said that he earlier posted a video about expressing condolence to the Palestine officials, following the assassination in Iran, however, this post was
removed.
Earlier too, Malaysia has raised issue about Meta’s content. Meta had then issued a statement and restored the post.
