Facebook on Wednesday night temporarily blocked the hashtag “#resignmodi”, which was critical of India’s handling of the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Users searching for the hashtag were shown a message that said such posts were “temporarily hidden here” because “some content in those posts goes against our community standards”.
The hashtag was later restored after users pointed it out on Twitter. “This hashtag has been restored and we are looking at into what happened,” Facebook Communications Policy Director Andy Stone tweeted.
