Facebook and Instagram Censor Voices in Support of Palestine
------------------------------------------------------------

A Human Rights Watch investigation has found Meta's content moderation
policies are increasingly silencing voices in support of Palestine on
its Facebook and Instagram social media platforms. The 51-page report,
released this week, documents more than 1,000 cases of Meta censorship
in 60 countries in what HRW calls "a pattern of undue removal and
suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support
of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights."
