Human Rights Watch has accused Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, of systematically censoring pro-Palestine content. The censorship includes content removals, account suspensions, inability to engage with content/accounts, features restrictions, and shadow-banning. The report indicates that Meta's content moderation policies have been silencing voices in support of Palestine, leading to concerns about erasure of Palestinian suffering and hindering policy and political changes. The censorship is described as systemic, global, and a failure to meet human rights responsibilities.
