Facebook Blocks ‘Kisan Ekta Morcha’ Account

A prominent Facebook account used by farmers protesting the Narendra Modi government’s new agriculture laws was removed by the social media giant on Sunday evening, before being restored after sparking outrage online. The account — called ‘Kisan Ekta Morcha’ — has over 100,000 followers and identifies itself as the official platform of the Kisan Andolan. It regularly publishes updates on the protests, videos of speeches given by farmer union leaders and also counters what it claims is misinformation by the Centre. The page was unpublished at around 7:00 PM and was accessible again by 9:30 PM, during which several hundreds of users accused Facebook of censoring farmer voices.
