PUTRAJAYA, Aug 1 — Meta, the parent company behind Instagram and Facebook, has not responded to the government’s query on its removal of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s recent social media posts showing his meeting with Ismail Haniyeh before the Hamas chief was assassinated this week.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzli told reporters today that the radio content of national news agency Bernama on the same issue was also removed from the internet.
“I have asked Meta for an explanation why only the post or contents made by the Prime Minister’s official account was targeted.
“There are a few possibilities, either it was taken down by Meta automatically or it was because of complaints by many people.
“I am emphasising that all social media platforms have their own community guidelines or standard guidelines and they may take action, take down and restrict others based on their respective guidelines,” Fahmi said.
