Quick Take: Facebook Blocks Fugitive Billionaire Guo Wengui's Account, New York Times Says
Social networking giant Facebook has blocked an account linked to Guo Wengui, a high-profile Chinese businessman now living in the United States, who has published frequent posts critical of Beijing, The New York Times reported.
Facebook, which itself is blocked in China and whose Whatsapp instant messaging service was briefly blocked for many users here last week, took the step after receiving a complaint of unspecified nature. It also took down another page associated with Guo, according to The New York Times on Monday.
“We want people to feel free to share and connect on Facebook, as well as to feel safe, so we don’t allow people to publish the personal information of others without their consent,” The New York Times quoted Facebook spokeswoman Charlene Chian saying.
