A sweeping crackdown on posts on Instagram and Facebook that are critical of Israel—or even vaguely supportive of Palestinians—was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by Drop Site News. The data show that Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023. Israel is the biggest originator of takedown requests globally by far, and Meta has followed suit—widening the net of posts it automatically removes, and creating what can be called the largest mass censorship operation in modern history.
I was ‘shadowbanned’ on an SFBA instance … my posts forced to ‘follows only unlisted’ for some ‘offense’ the mods refused to disclose @Oyu_Fka. @[email protected]
It’s worrying…as I say I initially thought I was just being paranoid, but the more I think about it, the more likely it is that someone somewhere decided to shut me down.
Well, that’s not happening, so hopefully, ‘lemmy’ will become my new permanent home for discussion 🙂.
