One day Facebook erased my wife and daughter. At the end of October 2019, Shir posted pictures of our child, who was then six months old, and the next day the two of them disappeared from Facebook. Without any warning or explanation, Shir’s account was removed from the social network and her Instagram account was blocked. She could not upload new posts, find out what was going on in the municipal group, contact businesses or communicate with friends. The pictures of our daughter were also deleted from my profile page.
In a response to the media, Facebook explained that the deletion was the result of a lawsuit filed against the cyber firm NSO, where Shir worked at the time. Facebook claimed that the company had hacked its servers and exploited security flaws to spy on WhatsApp users. In revenge, Facebook blocked the personal accounts of NSO employees.
