Digital rights group slams Israeli attempt to censor Palestinians on social media May 17, 2021 at 2:41 pm | Published in: Israel, Middle East, News, Palestine Sada social logo [Sada Social] May 17, 2021 at 2:41 pm A Palestinian platform designed to protect online content shared by Palestinians has criticised Israel's attempt to "impose its hegemony on social media platforms" and censor content about the occupation state's ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood as well as its war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip. A statement from Sada Social followed a meeting last week between Israel's Defence Minister, Benny Gantz, and executives from Facebook and TikTok where he asked them to remove anti-Israel content. Sada pointed out that social media users advocating for Palestine and its people have since reported many violations of their digital rights.
