Does Facebook Violate Our Freedom to Express Online by Removing Posts Posted at Their Site?

Facebook Community Standards
A day after I shared my blog article to my Facebook profile page, Facebook management has removed it with their reason - it's a spam. However, I reposted it at Facebook with my reason it's not a spam. It was shared directly from my blog site where I first published it and I even included a short message addressed to Mark Zuckerberg.

The message reads "Mr. Mark Zuckerberg attention please, you are the CEO of Facebook and you are doing business in the Philippines. Kindly, respect our civil rights. Do not kill our freedom to express online by removing and blocking posts posted at Facebook to be seen and to be read by our Filipino brothers and sisters around the world. This is about a national issue that every Filipino in the world should know what is happening in the Philippines."



Does Facebook violate our freedom to express online by removing posts posted at their site?

Protection of individual rights is highlighted in the Bill of Rights under Article III of the Philippine Constitution. To effectively protect these individual rights, Article 32 was included in the Civil Code. Article 32 reads: Any public officer or employee, or any private individual, who directly or indirectly obstructs, defeats, violates or in any manner impedes or impairs any of the following rights and liberties of another person shall be liable to the latter for damages such as Freedom of speech, Freedom to write for the press or to maintain a periodical publication et, etc.

Bilang Bise Gobernador ng Lalawigan ng Cavite, pinangunahan natin ang pag-akda ng SOGIE Ordinance o mas kilala sa tawag na Anti-Discrimination on LGBT Ordinance. Kasama ang lahat ng Board Members ng Sangguniang Panlalawigan na sumang-ayon sa ordinansang ito. Panahon na para isabatas ang SOGIE Bill sa buong bansa. Ipagtanggol ang karapatan ng mga may piniling kasarian! YES TO SOGIE BILL!
