Facebook accused of censoring posts on Indian Kashmir

Still in the works: A Taiwanese official says Facebook is considering building a datacentre in the country but the social network said no decision had been made yet.

SRINAGAR, India: Academics and activists accused Facebook Friday of censoring posts about Indian-administered Kashmir as a curfew in the region extended into its 14th day following unrest that has left 48 protesters dead. 

Facebook users posting on the violence in Kashmir in Britain, the US, India and Pakistan told AFP their posts had been removed or their profiles permanently deleted by the Silicon Valley giant citing “violation of community standards”.
