Facebook has apparently blocked the page of former Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa, which was used to share WikiLeaks material. The move also comes after he bashed his successor for allowing to arrest Julian Assange.
Correa took to Twitter on Thursday night to decry the block, which he called a “show of desperation” following the publication of the INA papers, a trove of documents leaked last month that show current President Lenin Morenos involvement in a corruption investigation. Correa had been publicizing the papers on his Facebook page, which had 1.5 million followers.
Bloquearon mi página facebook, 1,5 millones de seguidores
Un paso más de la brutal persecución, y otra muestra de desesperación por caso INA papers, del cual el corrupto Moreno no podrá escapar.
Solo por esta vía anunciaré nueva página. No crean en “fakes” https://t.co/9kxjqUJfpm— Rafael Correa (@MashiRafael) April 12, 2019
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the block to El Comercio, telling the paper that Correas page was blocked because it breached the companys policies on “disclosure of personal information, such as phone numbers, addresses, bank account data, cards, or any record or data that could compromise the integrity physical or financial of the people in our community.”
The block also came one day after Correa branded Moreno “the greatest traitor in Ecuadorian history” for allowing British officers to enter Londons Ecuadorian embassy and arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. One week previously, WikiLeaks had suggested that Moreno would move to oust Assange soon, as revenge for WikiLeaks reporting on the INA papers.
