Meta has engaged in a “systemic and global” censorship of pro-Palestinian content.

In a scathing 51-page report, Human Rights Watch documented and reviewed more than a thousand reported instances of Meta removing content and suspending or permanently banning accounts on Facebook and Instagram that were supportive of Palestinians https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/dec/21/meta-facebook-instagram-pro-palestine-censorship-human-rights-watch-report

Meta censors pro-Palestinian views on a global scale, report claims

Rights group says Facebook and Instagram routinely engage in ‘six key patterns of undue censorship’ of content supporting Palestine

@taylorlorenz There is so much #antisemitism on #threads right now, so much hatred, that I can hardly feel any sympathy for this.

There is no right for hate against jewish people!

And still we are talking about a country that fights international TERRORISM ...

@AndyGER @taylorlorenz Thank you for the reply, but I think you've misunderstood me, which perhaps isn't too surprising considering English is my second language  

I didn't make a statement about your character, I asked a question. If you'd like to answer my question with "no, feeling marginalised has increased my sympathy for other marginalised peoples because we have similar experiences", nothing would be stopping you from doing so

@OctaviaConAmore @taylorlorenz I'm shortsighted from the first year of my life so please do not tell me anything about feeling marginalised. Even this maybe not the same.

My first language is German.

@AndyGER

To me that's part of the same picture. Antisemitism on Threads is another example of how Facebook can't be trusted with moderation.

How the hell is reporting the suppression of pro Palestine posts anti-Semitism? Ye keep pulling this weird out whenever suits as a usual distraction from Israeli human rights violations, you're begining to cheapen it. #ZionistScumFuckOff

@AndyGER @taylorlorenz again, zionists are not jews and millions of jews are fighting zionism. Only the greatly brainwashed, Indoctrinated and miseducated would coke to such a vague conclusion and believe it to be a powerful message from themselves.

That's quite a cryptic statement. What do you mean by this? What about Zuckerberg makes him "bound to support Israel"? Could you please give a bit more context?

@Raccoon If I am correct, Mark Zuckerburg is Jewish.

@britishtechguru
There were so many other responses you could have given to this that weren't absolutely racist: not all Jewish people support Israel, or even think it should exist.

TechHub is not the place for these kinds of wild hot takes. Please go find a different instance, as we will no longer be platforming you on this one.

Opinion | Rights Watchdog, Lost in the Mideast

In repeatedly condemning Israel, and mostly ignoring closed regimes in the Middle East, Human Rights Watch is drifting from its core values, and its role as a global arbiter of morality.
