<BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class=ecxgmail_quote>Similar happened in HK yesterday and about 10 social activists including one opposition legislator had their fb accounts suspended for a few hours. I contacted fb public policy people and around the same time their accounts gradually came back unblocked. fb has not provided clear explanation of the reasons.
