SINGAPORE: Facebook Inc on Wednesday (Feb 19) said it was "deeply concerned” about how a Singapore government order to disable access to a blog page on its social media website could set a precedent for stifling free speech.
The government had ordered Facebook this week to block The States Times Review’s page in Singapore, saying the blog had repeatedly conveyed falsehoods and not complied with any of the directions that it had been served with under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act.
