Panelo explained that the President merely criticized Facebook for the removal of “legitimate” accounts that support the government’s advocacies such as the campaign against terrorism and communist insurgency.
“Sinasabi nila si Presidente, o naku parang istilong diktador na naman ito dahil sa kanyang pagbabanta sa Facebook operation gaya ng paggawa nila sa Rappler at ABS-CBN ,” Panelo said during his “Counterpoint” program Friday. Panelo insisted that the case of Rappler stemmed from a cyber libel complaint by an individual while ABS-CBN was unable to get congressional nod on the renewal of its lapsed franchise.
In a televised address Monday, the President lashed out at Facebook for taking down several pro-government pages, questioning their purpose in the country. He said he wanted to talk to Facebook after asking why he should allow them to continue to operate in the country if it cannot help the government.
