世界上最大的社交平台之二，面簿和推特，于昨天（19号），以“假新闻”为由，删掉936个账户。
Two of the biggest social platforms in the world, Facebook and Twitter, deleted 936 of their accounts yesterday (19th Aug) on the basis that these were ‘fake news’.
这些账户都发表过反对香港抗议活动、支持港警的贴文。推特在官方网页上指出，他们有“可靠证据”证明，这些贴文的背后有国家的推动，是在破坏抗议运动的合法性。
All of these accounts have shared posts regarding objections of protests in Hong Kong and supporting Hong Kong police. Twitter said in its official website that they have ‘reliable evidence’ that these posts are ‘state-backed’, with the intention to ‘undermine the legitimacy and political positions of protest movement’.
而在中国的社交媒体上，很多人表示他们的推特账号被封，但是他们的言论完全出于内心。
While on social platforms in China, many people are sharing that their accounts have also been deleted, even though their posts come from their heart.
以言论自由为名去封锁言论，这样的行为真的可取吗？
Blocking speech on the basis of free speech, is this right?
