Niklas Pivic<p>Leaked Data Reveals Massive Israeli Campaign to Remove Pro-Palestine Posts on Facebook and Instagram: <a href="https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/leaked-data-israeli-censorship-meta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">dropsitenews.com/p/leaked-data</span><span class="invisible">-israeli-censorship-meta</span></a></p><p>'The data, compiled and provided to Drop Site News by whistleblowers, reveal the internal mechanics of Meta’s “Integrity Organization”—an organization within Meta dedicated to ensuring the safety and authenticity on its platforms. Takedown requests (TDRs) allow individuals, organizations, and government officials to request the removal of content that allegedly violates Meta’s policies. The documents indicate that the vast majority of Israel’s requests—95%—fall under Meta’s “terrorism” or “violence and incitement” categories. And Israel’s requests have overwhelmingly targeted users from Arab and Muslim-majority nations in a massive effort to silence criticism of Israel.</p><p>Multiple independent sources inside Meta confirmed the authenticity of the information provided by the whistleblowers. The data also show that Meta removed over 90,000 posts to comply with TDRs submitted by the Israeli government in an average of 30 seconds. Meta also significantly expanded automated takedowns since October 7, resulting in an estimated 38.8 million additional posts being “actioned upon” across Facebook and Instagram since late 2023. “Actioned upon” in Facebook terms means that a post was either removed, banned, or suppressed.'</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meta</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarkZuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarkZuckerberg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instagram</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/whatsapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whatsapp</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>facebook</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SurveillanceCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SurveillanceCapitalism</span></a></p>
