"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.
The jokes people made on Twitter saying "I'm probably gonna be put on a list for retweeting this/liking this" was actual reality on FB?!
That is a current problem with Twitter as well:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/08/twitter-saudi-arabia-human-rights-abuses
Saudi authorities illegally requesting data from Twitter / flipping twitter employees to figure out who is posting opposing views. Some of which lead to arrests, torture, imprisonment, and death sentences.
Jared Kushner gave the Saudi's top secret intelligence information on SA dissidents in exchange for 2 billion....and then MBS had them all trapped in his Hotel to be interrogated, tortured, and likely killed. And now Trumps not even in power anymore and Elon gave them essentially the same thing Jared did. He should have stuck to ripping people off on PayPal, gd it.
It's reality on Twitter too. Their are whole industries tracking people and their ideologies and tying that to their identities. You just haven't pissed off the right group yet so you haven't found out which list you're on
