#WHO Facebook Page Censors #TaiwanCanHelp Comments
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist #JoshuaWong wrote on his Facebook page:
"I intended to comment #TaiwanCanHelp on WHO's Facebook to support Taiwan's inclusion in the World Health Assembly. However, my comment was censored and I am not allowed to post the text.
#Facebook spokeperson stated that page owners can manage their comments including censoring keywords to prevent it from appearing in the comment section.
It is believed that the page owner activated this function and banned keywords related to "Taiwan Can Help", making it impossible for people to comment.
Why does WHO have to set Taiwan as a sensitive keyword? Does it have the same effect of "Voldemort" in the Harry Potter series?
I believe the WHO has to explain this."
[Editor's Note: Netizens including those who wrote in Thai and Mongolian experienced the same problem.]
