Yesterday, Wet’suwet’en frontline leaders and solidarity activists (us!) organizing against the Coastal GasLink pipeline along with hundreds of climate activists were blocked from @Facebook due to a May 7 event targeting @KKR_Co, a major funder of the controversial pipeline.
Some accounts have been reinstated after many messages to @Facebook, but many remain blocked from using the platform for essential organizing. The social media giant has NOT explained why this happened on such a scale or why we’ve been targeted.
