“The Syrian president is accused of having tortured children, killed doctors, released bombs on civilians. Stop helping him spread his propaganda via Facebook and donate in favor of Syrian children each dollar that you have received from him. »»
This is how the NGO “The Syria Campaign” addressed Mark Zuckerberg to ask him to close the Facebook page of Bashar al-Assad as well as the support of his presidential campaign, the Sawa account (“ensemble”), which has nearly 230,000 “like”, according to the newspaper Le Monde.
An online petition has been launched for a few days in this direction. The Mark Zuckerberg firm replied that it did not plan to close the Sawa site or delete the page of Bashar el-Assad since Facebook allows freedom of expression. However, it has terminated purchasing contracts for advertising space for this site.
