SINGAPORE – Facebook has taken down a page spoofing a local university group after accounts linked to it failed to meet community guidelines.
The social media giant said on Saturday (Nov 23) that the page – Nussu-NUS Students United – was removed for “violating authenticity policies”.
A spokesman added that fake accounts linked to it had failed to meet community and authenticity guidelines.
The Nussu-NUS Students United page is one of many pages parodying the NUS Students Union or Nussu.
The page was taken down a day after it emerged that it had misused a quote from Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam.
In its post on Nov 17, the page quoted Mr Shanmugam as having said in Parliament on Oct 7: “If we do not separate religion from politics, then whose religion comes into politics?”
Mr Goh Chour Thong, the Minister’s press secretary, said the post mis-used this quote to falsely assert that if People’s Action Party member Rachel Ong wants to run for elections, she should “resign ALL executive positions with ROHEI, an organisation with religious leanings”.
