  Hi @mosseri: My post of my own @theatlantic article on the Hamas attack, which consisted entirely of a quote from the piece and a link to it, was just taken down for violating Threads' community guidelines for “praising a terrorist attack.” …

  Wholesale blocking specific words from search only leads to MORE unchecked misinfo according to experts, and the decision to block all searches for Covid, Long Covid, etc is a strictly political one: Meta does not want people talking about and discovering info related to Covid (e…

  I do not want to live in a world where the government decides what is true and what is not and Meta blocks journalists/experts' ability to debunk government misinfo & share accurate information, as is happening right now on Threads The fact that there's not more outrage over this…

  Ameer (the journalist who runs the IG account @muslim and @muslimnews) shows the massive drop in reach he's had on IG since he began sharing news about the war in Israel from a Palestinian and Muslim perspective.  Follow his page here https://instagram.com/muslim

  Instagram and Facebook are actively blocking posts about the *factual* history of Israel/Palestine, sometimes cloaking it as “technical difficulty.” YouTube is deleting material that talks about the daily life in Gaza city over the past several decades.

  Meta statement on concerns about the visibility of Stories. “We identified a bug impacting all Stories that re-shared Reels and Feed posts, meaning they weren't showing up properly in people's Stories tray, leading to significantly reduced reach. This bug affected accounts...

  Meta is blaming the censorship of content about the on-going genocide in Palestine by the Israeli regime on a technical bug. They said the same thing in 2021 and will probably lie again in the future. They're complicit in ethnic cleansing. [image]

  Still being shadowbanned by @instagram who are limiting my comments and story views. I am learning so much about how democracies and big tech work together to suppress information during illegal wars they are unable to manufacture consent for!

• @vinayaravind Vinay Aravind on x

  It's actually pretty extraordinary how @Meta have done this so brazenly. It's the clearest signal that the behemoth needs to be broken up piece by piece. At a minimum, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and others should be made entirely separate by antitrust intervention.

• @dialectichiphop @dialectichiphop on x

  For those who don't know in 2020, Meta hired Emi Palmor, the former Director of the Israeli Ministry of Justice to overlook content moderating on their oversight board. In her government role she was pressuring Facebook to shut down accounts defending Palestinian human rights.

• @marwasf @marwasf on x

  Meta still has face to claim there is a bug every time they mass censor Palestinians on its platforms. Was there also bug when you came out in full support of Ukraine against Russian occupation last year? The hypocrisy and double-standards are boundless.

• @johncusack John Cusack on x

  Mine as well - I've gotten some through - but many come back later - with failure to send - 10 of them - and who knows what kind of suppression is programmed for the ones that get out - he's not particularly subtle either - 200 thousand views - to 1200 -

  Remember. You should have zero trust in any statement from the company at this point. This includes Stone who carried water during a previous cover up that just led to a record $725 million settlement last week.

  Not the first time a “bug” has come up in this context fwiw [image]

• @ale_accorsi Alessandro Accorsi on x

  Growing reports of Palestinian content getting shadowbanned on Instagram and Facebook. This potentially includes valuable images documenting what is happening on the ground. In 2021, Meta had banned all content related to Sheikh Jarrah and Al-Aqsa “due to a mistake”.

  After posting an Instagram story about the war in Gaza yesterday, my account was shadowbanned. Many colleagues and journalists friends have reported the same. It's an extraordinary threat to the flow of information and credible journalism about an unprecedented war...

• @antoniogm Antonio García Martínez on x

  I'm in one of those Telegram groups where Israeli first responders post the videos they pull off the GoPros and phones of dead Hamas terrorists, and I can say Twitter sees maybe a fourth of the horror.

  The report outlines a color coordinated system using location data to know which neighborhoods they can “safely” enter, and which ones still contain residents. “Up to 700,000 Gazans had moved south by Monday afternoon, the data suggested, leaving about 400,000 in the north.”
