For the second time this year, Facebook closed the page of the Latin American television channel Telesur English, without giving any explanation. In a statement, Telesur said: “This is an alarming fact, in view of the recent closures of pages that do not conform to conventional narrative. Telesur is an international radio station that receives funding from the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Uruguay and Bolivia. Last week, Facebook also temporarily closed another page related to Venezuela, that of the news site Venezuela Analysis.
