Kit Siang: Denial not enough, public inquiry needed on troll farm
- 2 years ago
A public inquiry must be set up to investigate Meta's report alleging the police are linked to a “troll farm” operating on Meta-owned social media platforms Facebook and Instagram.
This is because the police’s mere denial of the matter is insufficient and unconvincing, Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang said.
"I call for a public inquiry headed by a judge or former judge to investigate the serious allegation levelled by Meta," he said in a statement.
He also called on the police to state whether the force is willing to cooperate with the proposed inquiry, which would include inviting Meta to disclose evidence proving the force's link to the troll farm.
