In a pre-recorded talk aired Monday night, Duterte said Facebook should talk to the government after it removed what he described as “advocacy” social media pages of the government. He also wondered why the social media network continues to operate in the country if they cannot help the government. However, Gleicher maintained that Facebook’s actions were not based on content but merely due to the networks’ CIB which violates the social media giant’s policies. Hands Off Our Children is just one of the many social media pages that Facebook shut down last week. But both AFP and PNP have disowned the closedown pro-Duterte social media accounts and pages.
