The Malaysian government has demanded an explanation from Meta Platforms regarding the removal of a Facebook post by its Prime Minister on the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. The Communications Minister, Fahmi Fadzil, made the announcement at a regular press conference.
Speaking to reporters, Fahmi Fadzil expressed the government's surprise and concern over the removal. The deleted post reportedly contained remarks from the Prime Minister shedding light on the incident involving Haniyeh.
As of Thursday, Meta had yet to respond to Malaysia's inquiries, leaving many questions unanswered and heightening the tension between Malaysia and the social media giant.
