Meta is accused of censoring a non-profit newspaper and an independent journalist who criticized the company

New York CNN — Meta faced backlash after blocking a newspaper’s critical report about it on social media sites. The newspaper’s links were flagged as a cybersecurity threat and removed, though most were later restored. However, a column criticizing Facebook and its handling of climate change posts remained blocked. Meta apologized for the error but faced further criticism when a journalist attempted to publish the column on her website, only to have it flagged and removed. Meta later lifted the blocks and apologized for the incident.
