Norwegian journalist, who questioned PM Modi, got suspended from Facebook and Instagram

Helle Lyng, the Norwegian journalist who grabbed headlines for questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Norway, has claimed that her Facebook and Instagram accounts have been suspended.

Lyng shared the update herself in a post on X.

“If you’re trying to reach me on Instagram or Facebook, I would like to let you know I have been suspended from both accounts. I have wanted to respond to as many Indians as possible, but my responses will now be delayed. I hope I will get my accounts back,” she wrote while tagging Meta .

The journalist said she was unaware of the reason behind the suspension. “Would someone explain to me how I got suspended from Instagram and Facebook? I am trying to understand if it was because of the two-step verification being misused by others or if there was something else. Also, does anyone have advice on how I can secure my accounts if I get them back?” she posted.
