Statement of the Department of the Interior and Local Government
Usec. Jonathan E. Malaya
DILG and NTF ELCAC Spokesperson
The Department of the Interior and Local Government welcomes the restoration of posts by Facebook after complaints were filed by different entities, including the National Task Force ELCAC, over the implementation of its community standards. While Meta has since restored the posts, serious questions remain on the social networking site’s impartiality and integrity in exercising censorship and fact-checking in its widely-used platform.
