Alberta premier accuses Facebook of censorship over temporary site restriction
“Happy to report, my page is able to post on Facebook again,” Smith told her Twitter followers on Thursday .A day earlier, Smith announced on Twitter that she had been blocked from posting and attributed it without evidence to censorship.
“Big tech and government censorship is becoming a danger to free speech around the world,” Smith tweeted on Wednesday.“As the premier of a province of 4.6 million Albertans — if they can prevent me from communicating with you, imagine what they can do to any one of us. Regardless of our political leanings, we must all stand against censorship.”“There were no restrictions placed on the premier’s page.
Troya-Alvarez did not respond to questions about why the account was suspended, but Smith posted the Facebook message sent to her on Wednesday that stated it was done “for security reasons.” The Meta site also states it will remove content deemed to be misinformation that risks causing violence or physical harm to people or threatens to help undermine the functioning of government or public processes.
Smith’s office declined to answer questions over why it believes Smith was being blocked due to censorship issues rather than security concerns or what evidence her office relied on in coming to that judgment.
