SadaSocial Center has received several complaints from Palestinian media pages on Facebook, in addition to accounts belonging to journalists and activists, who were subjected to an anonymous reporting campaign that led to the deletion or temporary suspension of dozens of pages and accounts, claiming that the content contradicts the standards and conditions of service in the platform.
The Center considers this step a serious breach of freedom of expression, which the platform is supposed to support, but unfortunately, it took this step without investigating the truth of these reports.
We also affirm that the speed of Facebook’s response to a such systimatic campaign of reports threatening the freedom of Palestinian content, and considered an obstacle to the Palestinian public’s right to access media platforms that cover their news.
