Facebook Disables Hundreds of Accounts Linked to Wet’suwet’en Support Rally | The Tyee: More than 200 Facebook users have been blocked from posting or sending messages through the popular social media platform after what appears to be a targeted attack on those supporting an anti-pipeline protest in northern British Columbia.

The suspensions temporarily disabled the personal accounts of people with posting privileges on 18 different Facebook pages belonging to environmental and Indigenous rights organizations.

The pages had all shared information on an online rally in May in support of Wet’suwet’en Nation members who opposed the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline through their territory. A similar rally was scheduled for today but has been postponed.
