War on Gaza: Meta silencing Palestinian voices, says HRW

In a recent report, Human Rights Watch (HRW) revealed that Meta is systematically censoring content related to Palestine on Instagram and Facebook. Deborah Brown of HRW stated that Meta's censorship contributes to the erasure of Palestinians' suffering. The organization, known for its advocacy for human rights, conducted a review of 1,050 cases of online censorship. It identified six main categories, including content removals, suspension or deletion of accounts, inability to engage with content, inability to follow or tag accounts, restrictions on features like Instagram/Facebook Live, and "shadow banning," characterized by a significant decrease in visibility without notifying the account holder.
