The new handle comes as the social media giant tries to fend off one its worst crises yet and pivot to its ambitions for the "metaverse" virtual reality version of the internet that the tech giant sees as the future.

MANILA, Philippines — Facebook’s parent company, Meta, did not have a meeting with Vice President Leni Robredo or her team for the removal of accounts supportive of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr, contrary to an ubstantiated claim of a suspended lawyer running for senator.

 

"No one from Meta has recently met with the vice president or her team, or made any agreement to remove political content from our platforms,” a Meta spokesperson told Philstar.com in an email on Friday.

 

The spokesperson added: "We do not arbitrarily censor peaceful political speech on Facebook, and we will only remove content or accounts if they violate our Community Standards."
