WSWS’s fight against Facebook censorship draws international support
The
World Socialist Web Site, Socialist Equality Party (SEP) and International Youth & Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) have received an outpouring of support internationally following the announcement on Friday that Facebook had deleted the accounts of leading members of the SEP and shut down the page of the IYSSE at the University of Michigan.
The widespread support including letters to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, statements on the WSWS, thousands of likes and shares on social media from workers, young people, journalists and professionals were a critical factor in the decision by Facebook to restore the IYSSE page and SEP accounts.
