Since October 7, 2023, Meta has removed approximately 90,000 posts from its platforms, Instagram and Facebook, in response to requests from the Israeli government, fulfilling 94% of these takedown demands. According to a report by Drop Site News, the company has been responding to these requests in an average of 30 seconds. This action is part of a broader campaign that has seen Meta censor nearly 39 million posts related to Palestine. Rights activists have raised concerns about the implications of such content moderation, suggesting it constitutes a significant crackdown on free expression regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Additionally, Google has been criticized for its role in this context, reportedly removing Street View in the northern West Bank and complying with military orders to cut traffic data, which some claim aids the Israeli occupation.

"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...Israel is the biggest originator of takedown requests globally by far." https://t.co/GqvxpkBVvS
