'Brutal persecution': Facebook blocks page of ex-Ecuadorian leader

Quito, Ecuador: Facebook has blocked the page of former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa in what the firebrand leader is lambasting as part of a "brutal persecution."
The page where Correa posted messages to his followers disappeared on Thursday.
When asked about the page's removal, a Facebook spokesperson said the social media company prohibits users from sharing private personal information like financial records that may "compromise the identity of people using our platform."
Correa has been posting information online about an offshore bank account allegedly used by the brother of Ecuador's current president, Lenin Moreno, to stash millions.
