The digital checkpoint: How tech giants control the narrative about Palestine
While Gaza burns, Big Tech buries the truth. When Instagram removes posts about Palestinian martyrs, TikTok purges 12,000 #FreePalestine accounts, and Meta's oversight board dismisses 89% of Palestinian appeals, while 87,000 instances of anti-Palestinian hate speech remain online, the pattern becomes clear. This isn't moderation; it's systematic erasure. With 100+ ex-IOF personnel in key tech positions and AI systems trained to flag Arabic terms as "terrorist content," social media platforms aren't neutral, they're another frontier of occupation. A silent front in a very loud war.
