UP Professor to Challenge Facebook’s Refusal to Take Down Fake Account

UP assistant professor Marikit Tara Alto Uychoco shared on Sunday revealed last Sunday that Facebook had dismissed her complaints about an impostor account which was created after he went on hiatus from the social network.

The UP Diliman professor says that the fake account, which bore the name “UyChoco Alto Marikit Tara” may have been created to target her because of her stance against the Marcoses and the current administration. Uychoco said that Facebook refused to take down the account as it did not go against community standards.   

Uychoco said that she will be visiting Facebook Philippines’ office in Metro Manila to get help on the issue.
