Whistleblowers at Meta have shown how the Israeli government is requesting pro-Palestine posts to be censored, with Meta complying in most cases.
Drop Site highlights how Israel is globally the biggest originator of takedown requests “by far” and that it is unique as a country in mostly requesting content that originates outside of its borders to be censored.
Meta then uses these Israeli censorship requests to further train their automated content removal tools, meaning that this spike in Israel’s attempts to shut up the world about their genocide will have effects on people posting about this atrocity for years to come.
