Facebook resists inquiry into Cambodia voter-manipulation claims
Mon, Apr 30, 2018 - 1:35 PM
[SAN FRANCISCO] Facebook doesn’t want to be drawn into a political dispute between the ruling and opposition parties of Cambodia. It may not have a choice.
The global social-media network is resisting requests by a political opponent of Cambodia Prime Minister HE to turn over information that will help him fight what he calls trumped-up criminal and civil claims against him brought by the ruling regime.
Sam Rainsy, the leader of Cambodia’s National Rescue Party, has lived outside the country since 2015 amid multiple threats and jail time he faces there. A lawyer for Sam Rainsy is scheduled on Monday to ask a court in San Francisco to order California-based Facebook to turn over the information.
A subpoena issued by a US court would help Mr Rainsy respond to the regime’s charges and show that Mr HE and his agents have purchased substantial advertising to distribute propaganda and misuse Facebook’s platform, he said in a court filing. It would also allow him to file his own cases challenging what he claims are Mr HE’s abuses.

Re: Sam Rainsy Summoned to Court Over Facebook Lawsuit
did you see in the media.... the summons was taped to the gate of his residence. In the western world, that is not considered summons service.
Water quenches the thirst, alcohol releases the truth.

Re: Sam Rainsy Summoned to Court Over Facebook Lawsuit
Judge forces Facebook to reveal its ties to Cambodian strongman
By David Gilbert May 1, 2018
A California court ruled Monday that Facebook must turn over information about how it works with Cambodian Prime Minister HE, the popular strongman accused of using his Facebook popularity to push state propaganda and silence opposition voices.
The decision could reveal how closely Facebook works with repressive regimes like HE's, and whether it gives such governments special treatment to promote their agendas.
