ANN/THE PHNOM PENH POST – Former prime minister Hun Sen will resume the use of his Facebook page, now renamed “Samdech Hun Sen of Cambodia”, after Facebook’s parent company Meta Platforms Inc declined the request of its Oversight Board to temporarily suspend the account over alleged breaches of its policies.
Hun Sen’s personal assistant Duong Dara, who created the page for him, told The Post on August 30 that by resuming the use of the page, the former premier would be able to get closer to the public, as he could both share and receive information through the platform.
The issue first arose earlier this year, when the board’s 22 members alleged that the then-prime minister had breached its violence and incitement policies.
On June 30, Hun Sen announced that the government would not block Facebook in Cambodia.
