Facebook Bans BJP Legislator From Telangana

Hyderabad: Facebook has banned T Raja, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator from Telangana, for his controversial comments that violate the policy of hate speech, reported Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

According to Outlook, a Facebook official said in an emailed statement, “We have banned Raja Singh from Facebook for violating our policy prohibiting those that promote or engage in violence and hate from having a presence on our platform.”

The statement further stated that the process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and encourages Facebook’s decision to ban his account.
