A former senior Israeli government official now working as Meta’s Israel policy chief personally pushed for the censorship of Instagram accounts belonging to Students for Justice in Palestine — a group that has played a leading role in organizing campus protests against Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.
Internal policy discussions reviewed by The Intercept show Jordana Cutler, Meta’s Israel & the Jewish Diaspora policy chief, used the company’s content escalation channels to flag for review at least four SJP posts, as well as other content expressing stances contrary to Israel’s foreign policy. When flagging SJP posts, Cutler repeatedly invoked Meta’s Dangerous Organizations and Individuals policy, which bars users from freely discussing a secret list of thousands of blacklisted entities. The Dangerous Organizations policy restricts “glorification” of those on the blacklist, but is supposed to allow for “social and political discourse” and “commentary.”
 
I see Greenwald wrote, "Liduk", oh my, it is Likud. Anyhow, this is news that will come and go. This is nothing new, and it is the system. Massie isn't liked by the Zionists; he also gave an outside vote on a resolution that equates anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Not to ignore that he was also called an antisemite by Chuck Schumer. I don't know Massie's ambitions, but he isn't liked by AIPAC.


He appears to create his own victories. I am not clued-up with American politics. How he is toeing the GOP line I can't gauge.
 
This is horrifying. I mean, just when we think it couldn't get any worse, Israel goes and flags 4 Instagram posts. I don't know what to say.

I think I must go lie down now I'm feeling dizzy.
 
If they can block those youtube ads I get of Palestinian women saying if I skip them then I deny them, then I fully support it.

It is actually worse than you think. Sensoring any kind of content is not a sign of strength or that you are winning the argument(or war). Israel does a lot of that.

They are really struggling to show they have the moral high ground against a bunch of religious fanatics and terrorists.

Lol.

Islamists censor everything, even music and dancing. What does that tell you?
 
Weird, all I ever see on FB is sponsored and other pro Palestian/Anti-Israel rhetoric stuff, would never have guessed. :unsure:
 
We already have a thread.
One that's ironically censored, where half the people with views on the matter are thread-banned (with a heavy bias to thread banning pro-israeli views for petty things) , and every other thread gets squashed saying "but there's already a thread"
