Episode Meta Interference - Should Social Media Platform Cancel Posts by Head of State? (Ep.95)
In a recent news where the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, expressed his dismay over the backlash against the effort to bring in the injured Palestinians for medical treatment, we explored the power of social media platform in regulating contents. The minister of truth in Malaysia, who acts on behalf of Prime Minister Office, even demanded an apology from Meta on the grounds of removal of Facebook post of Anwar to be an act of discrimination against the situation in Palestine and its leaders.
Anwar strongly condemned Meta on the removal of his Facebook post - ”Tidak masuk akal apabila hantaran menghormati seorang pejuang yang berusaha memerdekakan tanah airnya daripada kezaliman dan penderitaan dianggap berbahaya.” While differing opinions may be expressed on Hamas and its former leader Ismail Haniyeh, we want to know if you think social media platform should act as publisher and content regulator.
