SARAJEVO, 21 July 2022 - This morning news portal BUKA lost access to their Facebook page because their account was hacked.
Hacking websites and related social media accounts as well as blocking access to media content is a clear violation of the right to freedom of expression.
Media outlets play an important role in keeping society informed on issues of public interest; such cyber security attacks tarnish the trusted relationship between the media and its audience.
We believe that Facebook will resolve this issue in time before more damage to BUKA is caused.
