Freedom of the Press

Censorship: the suppression of particular ideas and the people who put these ideas forward, usually when these ideas are politically challenging for a government.

Many, if not most, Zambrano carers rely on a particular social media platform to discuss their immigration problems with the Home Office. On this platform, journalists are restricted from interviewing Zambrano carers - even anonymously.

A January 2021 post by a journalist requesting interviews with Zambrano carers was blocked.


Moderators changed part of her contact information to show "xx" instead of the full details.



A few minutes later, a Zambrano carer offered to be interviewed.


Shortly thereafter, the moderator(s) deleted both posts.
