New York, August 6 (RHC)-- Meta Platforms has apologised for removing content from Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s Facebook and Instagram accounts related to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh last week.

“We apologise for an operational error where content from the Prime Minister’s Facebook and Instagram Pages were removed, and the content has since been restored with the correct newsworthy label,” a Meta spokesperson told the Reuters news agency.

Members of the Prime Minister’s Office and the country’s communications minister met with Meta representatives on Monday to seek an explanation as to why the posts by the prime minister expressing condolences after the killing of Haniyeh were removed.

The Prime Minister’s Office said the social media company’s actions were “discriminatory, unjust, and a blatant suppression of free expression.”
