The leaked documents reveal that Israel’s takedown requests have overwhelmingly targeted users from Arab and Muslim-majority nations, with the top 12 countries affected being: Egypt (21.1%), Jordan (16.6%), Palestine (15.6%), Algeria (8.2%), Yemen (7.5%), Tunisia (3.3%), Morocco (2.9%), Saudi Arabia (2.7%), Lebanon (2.6%), Iraq (2.6%), Syria (2%), Turkey (1.5%).
Interesting. I’d have expected this to include more Western countries. Or do they expect we’ll notice and complain?
Pure speculation but this list appears to be takedowns requested directly by Israel.
It is well known Western countries already censor pro Palestine content with their internal moderation team. Human Rights Watch had a great report in 2023
Meta’s Broken Promises - Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook
I’m absolutely flabbergasted.
