Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her Facebook account is back up and running after a temporary restriction that prompted her to accuse the social media giant of censorship.

“Big tech and government censorship is becoming a danger to free speech around the world,” Smith said in a June 14 message on Twitter, announcing, “My Facebook account has been banned from posting content for a ‘few days.’”
