Facebook ‘mistakenly’ blocks posts seeking PM’s resignation

New Delhi, April 29

Facebook blocked posts tagged #ResignModi amid raging criticism of the government's handling of the Covid crisis, but restored it hours later calling it a mistake.

The blocking on Wednesday, Facebook said, wasn't at the behest of the government. Facebook isn't the first social media company to censure posts critical of government handling of the Covid-19 crisis. Twitter had removed or restricted access to several critical posts on orders from the government, which called it fake news.

"We temporarily blocked this hashtag by mistake," Facebook said. — PTI
