Facebook Restores Kisan Ekta Morcha Page Soon After Blocking It

New Delhi: Kisan Ekta Morcha’s Facebook page which was being operated by the farmers fighting the contentious farm laws introduced by the Centre was temporarily blocked on Sunday, alleged the protesting farmers.

However, it has been restored now following a ‘regret’ message from the online social networking site.

Facebook had temporarily blocked the page of Kisan Ekta Morcha (KEM) for allegedly “going against” the social media platform’s “Community Standards on spam” on Sunday.

Following outrage from the community, Facebook quickly restored “Kisan Ekta Morcha’s Facebook page” and it did “regret the inconvenience caused”, according to The Quint. Without issuing any further clarification, the company also didn’t spell out which specific community standards on spam the page had violated that warranted blocking the page.

KEM’s Twitter handle published a screenshot of the Facebook page at 7:18 pm on Sunday with the notification that the “page has been unpublished.”

“Closing Kisan Ekta Morcha page, dedicated to India’s farmers’ movement, on Instagram and Facebook – and allowing the Hindu supremacist, Islamophobic violent Bajrang Dal to maintain its pages boasting of violence. That’s @Facebook for you,” tweeted All India Progressive Women’s Association Secretary Kavita Krishnan.

The KEM, in another tweet, wrote, “Now this is #TooMuchDemocracy. A peaceful protest by Kisan and Facebook deletes @Kisanektamorcha Facebook page.(sic)”
