The news outlet Axios has faced some criticism for referring to Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist Leila Khaled as a âPalestinian activistâ in a recent article.
The article, titled âZoom faces its content moderation moment,â discusses the video conferencing platformâs efforts in developing guidelines for how to handle content on its platform. The Axios article references how in September, Zoom deplatformed a San Francisco State University (SFSU) event featuring Khaled.
âZoom decided not to host a San Francisco State University event featuring Palestinian activist Leila Khaled, who had taken part in two plane hijackings,â the section reads.
