SINGAPORE – Facebook has taken down a pro-PAP page for violating its policies, about a week after removing a similar page.
A Facebook spokesman confirmed it has unpublished another “Fabrications About the PAP” page, and said this was part of its efforts to deal with problematic accounts.
“We’ve taken action on accounts in Singapore for violating our policies. This is based on the violating behaviour of these accounts and not based on the content posted from these Pages,” said the spokesman on Monday night (July 6) in response to queries from The Straits Times.
In late June, an earlier version of the “Fabrications About the PAP” (FAP), which had amassed more than 250,000 likes, was unpublished by Facebook.
The page, started by Mr Jason Chua Chin Seng in 2011, is known for publishing posts which slam opposition parties and laud the policies of the People’s Action Party (PAP). Mr Chua has said that he set up the page in response to “anti-government” websites.
In 2017, the page received a warning from the police for breaching election advertising rules on Cooling-Off Day during the Bukit Batok by-election.
