Kuala Lumpur: Meta Platforms apologised on Tuesday for the removal of content from Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's Facebook and Instagram accounts related to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh last week.

The content has since been restored "with the correct newsworthy label", a Meta spokesperson told Reuters in an emailed response to questions.
