MANILA, Philippines — The Department of the Interior and Local Government "acknowledged" Friday Facebook’s takedown of illegal e-sabong pages and accounts but hit the social networking site's parent company for its late reaction to its repeated requests. 

 

"Its much-delayed response to the request of Philippine authorities is emblematic of the culture that has embraced Meta Platforms, Inc. Despite official requests and public appeals made by this Department and other government agencies, they ignored our requests for them to comply with Philippine laws and only acted belatedly when we exposed their inaction and neglect to the public," DILG spokesperson Jonathan Malaya said in a statement sent to reporters Friday. 

 

"It appears to have dragged its feet on stopping illegal and harmful activities in its social media platform. In the race for profits, they should never put growth above and before the safety of its users."
