Left, the message shown to journalist Kate Faulkner when she tries to log into Facebook. Right, the Kent Online story post that resulted in the bans. Facebook deactivated the personal account of a local news journalist who posted a link to a story about a sex offender on the page of her employer. A Facebook page for Iliffe-owned Kent radio station KMFM was also temporarily taken down for a “breach of community standards” after the story was posted on Saturday morning but was restored within just 20 minutes after a successful appeal. Kate Faulkner is a newsreader and reporter for KMFM and part of her job involves posting links to the local stories that have been run on air on the broadcaster’s Facebook news page (separate to the main KMFM page). Faulkner’s personal account was deactivated on Saturday and was only restored on Thursday afternoon after Press Gazette got in touch with the Meta press office. Before that, although the KMFM page had been unblocked, Faulkner’s own appeal was rejected and she had been unable to get in touch with anyone from Meta herself.  » Read More

SINGAPORE – One Sng Chia Huat, who goes by Rich Sng on Facebook, put up two posts on the social media site falsely accusing two ministers of being aware that Fujian gang member Su Haijin had broken laws but condoned it. He also falsely accused Health Minister Ong Ye Kung and Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat of dishonestly pretending not to know Su, being involved in or susceptible to corruption or bribery, and being part of a system that protects criminals like Su. Both ministers, in a joint statement on May 12, said they have sent Mr Sng letters from their lawyers, and will be suing him for defamation if he does not make the reparations they have requested. The statement added that the allegations made by Mr Sng in his posts are baseless and false.

Singapore tycoon Sam Goi said he hosted the private dinners where Su was present,  » Read More

New York, May 12, 2025—Taliban authorities in southeastern Ghazni Province must immediately and unconditionally release journalist Sulaiman Rahil, who was detained on May 5 by intelligence agents, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Monday. “Sulaiman Rahil is the latest of many Afghan journalists to be swept up by the notorious General Directorate of Intelligence without explanation or charge,” said CPJ Asia Program Coordinator Beh Lih Yi. “The Taliban continue to show zero tolerance for independent journalists who report anything other than the group’s strictly censored narratives. The Taliban’s intelligence agency is attempting to control the media through fear and to prevent any honest reporting about the difficulties of life in Afghanistan today.” Rahil, director of the local, independent Radio Khushal, was detained in Ghazni city after publishing a video on Facebook highlighting the plight of two impoverished women, according to the exiled Afghanistan Journalists Center watchdog group. CPJ was unable to locate the video. Two days prior to his arrest, Rahil had also published a video on Facebook alleging that the provincial head of the Taliban-run National Radio and Television of Afghanistan had insulted him,  » Read More
