PHNOM PENH: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Friday he was considering banning Facebook in his country, largely because he was fed up with the abuse he received on it from his political enemies abroad.

Pulling the plug on Facebook for millions of Cambodian users would be the last stage in a lightning estrangement this past week between the 70-year-old premier and the social media platform. He had been an enthusiastic user, posting family snapshots alongside dire warnings to his foes, and recently livestreaming his many, sometimes hours-long speeches.
