The center added that “the company has begun deleting its pages and supportive publications on the Facebook and Instagram platforms,” noting that “the movement’s members are still using the WhatsApp instant messaging application (affiliated with Facebook), but the company will monitor the situation and will delete any account associated with the banned organization or whoever speaks in their name.”
