UK-based news aggregator NewsNow was left “astonished” after Facebook removed its page without any explanation or warning on Friday.

The page had 85,000 followers and NewsNow founder and chief executive Struan Bartlett told Press Gazette there was “no excuse” for Facebook not communicating over such a major decision.

Facebook said on Tuesday afternoon it was working to restore the page after four days following questions from Press Gazette. It was back up by Wednesday afternoon.
