ANALYSIS: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith claimed this week that Facebook suspended her account. But the social media company said that wasn't the case, and the evidence she provided appears to confirm this wasn't censorship.
After Meta's clarification, the premier's team resumed using her Facebook page, saying "I hope this is the last time this happens." Smith also posted the error message her Facebook page received, which refers to a security issue, not a content issue.
CBC News put several detailed questions about this incident to Smith's office. The reply: "We have no further comment and hope Facebook will ensure this doesn't happen again."What links these two incidents, the alarm over jobs that Ottawa won't kill by memo and a major public figure's Facebook account that appears to not have been censored for spurious reasons?
