Dear comrades ,
On the 19th of March the Facebook page of the Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) was unpublished by Facebook which meant that it was no longer visible to Facebook users and we could no longer publish on it . The page had built up a following of 12,000 people and was the product of 11 years of hard work .Subsequently the page has been deleted as if it never existed.
Many hours of hard work were destroyed at one click by the censors of Facebook. This an act of terrorism by Facebook against KFA UK . It is an act of extreme censorship, a totally arbitrary action by Facebook .
We had started having problems with Facebook back in 2020 and these seemed to escalate over the past year . On numerous occasions Facebook simply deleted posts without giving a reason and also seemed to take exception to pictures from some DPRK websites such as Voice of Korea and friend.com.kp. From last year Facebook started to impose restrictions on the KFA UK page and limit it .
Facebook used the pretext for the banning that we had shared videos from the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea which went against ‘Facebook community standards’ . However, probably the reason is that the south Korean fascist puppet authorities were afraid that south Koreans would see them and asked Facebook to ban the KFA UK page .Moreover Facebook is a monopoly capitalist tech giant with links to the deep state in the US and UK . They took down the page so people cannot see the reality of People’s Korea and also to stifle solidarity with People’s Korea .
We strongly denounce the unjust and arbitrary censorship of Facebook . We will not be silenced
Yours comradely
Dermot Hudson
Chairman KFA UK
