Philippine President Attacks Facebook for Taking Down Fake Accounts

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said that Facebook could not stop him from promoting the objectives of his government, telling the social media giant that they should talk about its purpose in his country. His remarks follow Facebook’s move on Sept. 22 to dismantle a network of fake accounts that originated in China and the Philippines, including some that criticised the Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA).
