In a video on Oct. 13, Instagram influencer and photojournalist Motaz Azaiza shared footage of the rubble of an apartment, the site of an Israeli bombardment that killed 15 of his family members.

He turns the camera on himself first, visibly upset, and then shows the scene—the ruin of the building, a bloodstain, a neighbor carrying a child’s body draped with a shroud.

In response, Meta restricted access to his account.

I'm trying to figure out what difference it even makes who was killed and where. It's not like the Tank Man footage was faked. And everyone clearly accepts that the Chinese government massacred its own people to stop an uprising.

Man, I am reminded of how much I hate humanity. Governments like theirs is the default everywhere.

It makes a difference when there are people actively trying to deny anyone died, period.

No one is doing that though, at least not here in the thread. Unless a new tankie popped in somewhere and I didn't see.
