Cambodia: Meta's Oversight Board recommends PM's Facebook and Instagram accounts be suspended for violent speeches; PM deactivates his accounts and moves to use Telegram & TikTok
The Oversight Board has overturned Meta’s decision to leave up a video on Facebook in which Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen threatens his political opponents with violence. Given the severity of the violation, Hun Sen’s history of committing human rights violations and intimidating political opponents, as well as his strategic use of social media to amplify such threats, the Board calls on Meta to immediately suspend Hun Sen’s Facebook page and Instagram account for six months.
