The Strategic Media & Communications Division of the Malaysian Prime Minister's Office has strongly condemned Meta for removing an Instagram post depicting Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim's meeting with Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar, which took place in May.
Meta explained that the post was removed because it appeared to share or send symbols, praise, or support for individuals and organizations that they classify as dangerous.
The removal of the post has been described by the Prime Minister's Office as a clear act of discrimination against the Palestinian situation and its leaders. The official statement from the Prime Minister's Office expressed deep concern over Meta's actions, highlighting the perceived bias and unjust treatment.
In response to this incident, the Prime Minister's Office is demanding an explanation from Meta. They are also urging the social media giant to issue a formal apology for what they view as an unwarranted and discriminatory action.
The Malaysian government has taken a firm stance, advocating for what they believe to be fair and unbiased treatment of all parties involved in the conflict.
The Malaysian Prime Minister's Office's demand for an apology and explanation from Meta signifies the importance they place on this issue and their commitment to addressing perceived injustices on behalf of the Palestinian cause.
