Comment on Meta deletes Al Jazeera presenter’s profile after show criticising Israel

jet@hackertalks.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

“Al Jazeera Arabic presenter Tamer Almisshal has had his Facebook profile deleted by Meta 24 hours after the programme Tip of the Iceberg aired an investigation into Meta’s censorship of Palestinian content titled The Locked Space.

The programme’s investigation, which aired on Friday, included admissions by Eric Barbing, former head of Israel’s cybersecurity apparatus, about his organisation’s effort to track Palestinian content according to criteria that included “liking” a photo of a Palestinian killed by Israeli forces.”

Deplatforming journalists, or anyone, is a terrible thing to do.
