</div><div><div>Hi, all<br>
<br>
Today Facebook blocked accounts of nearly 10 Ukrainian independent<br>
journalists. But, after active campaign in social media and addresses to<br>
Facebook CEO, these accounts were unblocked.<br>
<br>
May be it is time to think about ombudsmen for social media - as a mediator<br>
between users and CEO?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
