The UK’s Socialist Workers Party was temporarily booted from Facebook, restored hours later with no explanation given for what the left-wing org deemed a “silencing of political activists.” Dozens of related pages remain banned.
The party said its main account, as well as its local pages, were deactivated on Friday, calling the move an “attack” while demanding the profiles be “reinstated immediately.”
“Facebook has shut down the accounts of one of the biggest left wing organisations in Britain,” the SWP said in a press release, adding that “dozens of leading SWP activists” were simultaneously kicked off the platform.
