The Kremlin is crying foul on Facebook, accusing the social media giant of censorship after it took down more than 200 pages and accounts that were run by the Russia-based Internet Research Agency the "troll factory" that is under indictment for interfering in the 2016 U.S. election.
When it took down the pages this week, the American company said, "The [Internet Research Agency] has no place on Facebook." The company removed 70 Facebook accounts and 138 pages, along with 65 Instagram accounts and a number of ads. Most of the removed material was in Russian and included commentary on domestic and international events.
The issue is the competition between Facebook and traditional Media outlet. Many get the information through FB rather than traditional Media.
I like my own distorted stories by my friends than the Media's. Just a thought.
