Facebook has blocked several pages and profiles from posting on the popular social networking site for 12 hours over posting pictures of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.
Prominent Facebook pages ‘AhlulBayt Islamic Mission (AIM)’ with over 170,000 users and Iran’s news broadcaster ‘Press TV’ which celebrates over 1 million users, have been flagged up due to posting pictures of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, in what looks like a targeted campaign against the Hezbollah leader.
Facebook has cited its Community Standards as the source of information about the temporary suspension. However, those being blocked complain that they found no credible reasons why these pictures break Facebook Community Standards.
On this matter, a spokesman for AhlulBayt Islamic Mission said:
We have enquired with Facebook regarding this matter and are yet to receive any explanation. Unfortunately, social media is an easy place for Zionist and Right-Wing groups who go around reporting things that displease them and as a result censor free-speech on the internet.
Selected censorship of various media, that has provided an alternative to the mainstream agenda, further exposes the double-standards used to define and implement policy on freedom of speech.
