"Meta Urged to Suspend Hun Sen's Facebook Account in Cambodia, Board Demands"

Meta's Oversight Board has called for the suspension of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's Facebook and Instagram accounts for inciting violence, marking the first time the board has requested the banning of a head of government from Meta's platforms. The board's recommendation, which is nonbinding, calls for a six-month suspension and the removal of a live-streamed video in which Hun Sen threatened and incited violence against political opponents. The board cited the severity of the violation, Hun Sen's history of human rights violations, and his strategic use of social media to amplify threats. Meta has 60 days to comply with the takedown request and must issue a public response within the same period.
