An Estonian minister on Thursday got caught deleting questions and comments people had posted on his Facebook wall about ACTA, the heavily protested global anti-piracy law, claiming he was “running out of Facebook space”.

Defence Minister Mart Laar, the leader of the IRL party, got caught after people asking questions about whether he supported the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), a global anti-software piracy law that has drawn heavy criticism from all sides of the political spectrum as well as internet users and experts, noticed their questions had been deleted.

A journalist then posted a question on his wall, asking for a comment on why the comments were disappearing, and within ten minutes the question also vanished from the page.

When asked at the weekly government press conference, Mart Laar claimed: “I don’t think that I have deleted everything from there. Last time I saw it there was a functional dispute going on. If there’s something missing then it’s probably because we were running out of space.”
