A sweeping crackdown on posts on Instagram and Facebook that are critical of Israel—or even vaguely supportive of Palestinians—was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by Drop Site News.

The data show that Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023. Israel is the biggest originator of takedown requests globally by far.

What makes Israel’s campaign unique is its success in censoring speech in many countries outside of Israel. Insiders said, as the AI program Meta is currently training how to moderate content will base future decisions on the successful takedown of content critical of Israel’s genocide.

    dropsite is some of the best independent journalism available in the US. They break massive news stories all the time, things you’d never see from the corporate news narrative. One of the last vestiges of real journalism in the west. Highly credible.
