00:00Meta platforms apologised on Tuesday for the removal of content from Prime Minister Datuk
00:06Seri Anwar Ibrahim's Facebook and Instagram accounts related to the assassination of Hamas
00:12political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh last week.
00:16Malaysia had asked Meta for an explanation after the posts expressing condolences over
00:20Haniyeh's death were removed.
00:22In an emailed response to questions, a Meta spokesman told Reuters that the Facebook and
00:27Instagram parent apologised for an operational error and the content has since been restored
00:33with the correct newsworthy label.
00:36Communications Minister Fahmy Fadzil and members of the Prime Minister's Office had met Meta
00:41representatives on Monday to seek an explanation.
00:45In a statement on Monday, the PMO said Meta's actions were viewed as discriminatory, unjust
00:51and a blatant suppression of free expression.
