A leading human rights group accused Facebook on Friday of improperly removing pro-Palestine content from its platforms during the Israeli-Palestinian crisis in May.
“Facebook has suppressed content posted by Palestinians and their supporters speaking out about human rights issues in Israel and Palestine,” said researcher Deborah Brown from Human Rights Watch. “With the space for such advocacy under threat in many parts of the world, Facebook censorship threatens to restrict a critical platform for learning and engaging on these issues.”
