Facebook removed video of a communist leader, as did Tic Tok. Facebook doesn’t know why… LOL 😄 > General Lam, who is Vietnam’s minister of public security … led a trip on Nov. 2 to the grave of Karl Marx, according to a news release from the ministry. > While in London, the visitors “paid respect to those based on whose theories the Vietnamese people overthrew systems of oppression ruled by colonialists and imperialists,” the ministry said. > Reuters, which first reported the hashtag block, said TikTok users in Vietnam who searched for the video were informed that it had been removed from the app for violating “community standards.” > Normally government censors can squash an unflattering story “within a few hours.” > **[DNyuz - Latest Breaking U.S. News](https://dnyuz.com/)** > > Latest Breaking News, U.S. and World Politics, Crime, Business, Science, Technology, Autos, Entertainment, Culture, Movie, Music, Sports. ---
