Inside Meta’s Palestine Censorship (www.youtube.com)

Meta has a Palestine problem. If you use Facebook or Instagram, you’ve probably seen the censorship yourself. Dena Takruri uncovers an internal culture of censorship, intimidation and fear within Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook.

She speaks to Meta employees who’ve tried to fix the problem or speak out, and say they were silenced or even fired. She also investigates Meta leaders’ deep ties to Israel, which may explain why it’s suppressing and censoring Palestine content for billions of users around the world.

It was never about “countering dis-, mis-, and mal-information”. It was always about controlling the message, about censorship & propaganda. It was always top-down from the capitalist class and their government mandarins to shape public opinion. I’ve described real media literacy before, which you’ll never get from secondary or undergraduate schooling, nor from corporate media, nor from the new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula.

In the fediverse we have some amount of freedom right now, but they’ve become aware of us.
