Meta and Israel’s Complicity in Silencing Palestinian Voices

    This is not new. A few years ago I was banned for using certain features on Facebook because of the photo of Palestine coins.

    I’m so fucking tired of this acceptance people have where they treat Meta and Facebook as separate entities. Where, at one point, it was just one entity called Facebook. Facebook doesn’t have a parent company, because it’s just Facebook. Meta only came into existence because Mark was forced his hand in some monopoly issue or something.

    And big surprise, Facebook dictating who can and can’t be on it’s platform.

      Yeah, I don’t get it. No one says, “fuck Alphabet for how they’re handling YouTube”. No one says, “fuck Alphabet for baking spyware into Android and Chrome”. No, they criticize Google for that stuff. Why is Facebook different?

      I don’t think the people doing it now are bots, but I swear the Facebook-Meta separation had to have been started by astroturfing. People seemed way too eager to accept the rebranding and act like Meta was somehow different from Facebook.

    I’m pretty sure Meta has been shadow-banning all news related content for years now, and anything related to Palestine is news.

    They want you to share cute puppy photos and birthday invitations.

    Why do I feel like there is more to this story? These days you apparently can only report what supports your own beliefs.

    Just to be clear I’m not taking a stance, I just think the media is more propaganda than news these days

    I’d assume content would fall into blanket ban territory because it contained heinous or trigger word phrases. I report antisemitic and heinous Maga shit almost daily and never once has one come back and said “we are taking action”. It’s always “this post did not violate any community blah blah”.

    Any reference on what is actually being restricted or silenced?
