Meta deletes Al Jazeera presenter’s profile after show criticising Israel

"Al Jazeera Arabic presenter Tamer Almisshal has had his Facebook profile deleted by Meta 24 hours after the programme Tip of the Iceberg aired an investigation into Meta’s censorship of Palestinian content titled The Locked Space.

The programme’s investigation, which aired on Friday, included admissions by Eric Barbing, former head of Israel’s cybersecurity apparatus, about his organisation’s effort to track Palestinian content according to criteria that included “liking” a photo of a Palestinian killed by Israeli forces."

Deplatforming journalists, or anyone, is a terrible thing to do.

Equating Israel to Judaism is such a stupid fucking idea.

Oof. I just want to say as a Jew that is constantly trying to dispel the myth of Jewish media conspiracies, Zuck really isn't doing us any favors here.

Meta are acting as an international agency curtailing journal8sm as it suits them. Using Meta "logic", they'd need to do the same for the Ukranian reporters, which we also would never condone.

Can people actually criticise Israel and get away with it? Hasn't been the case for the past decade or even more. This is hardly news.

Permanently Deleted

This saga won't be over till Boomers are out political post on both sides. Boomer generation are known not to negotiate on any issue, even of it benefits them

Even so, Al Jazeera is a notoriously unreliable and manipulative news outlet directly controlled by the Qatari state and partially responsible for much of the current disarray that the Arabian peninsula and North Africa are experiencing since over a decade by now. They're spewing out Qatari propaganda around the clock

Al Jazeera, especially the Arabic version, are well known to constantly spew lies about Israel.

This is the reason why Gab is better than Facebook.

Is his name really Tear MyAsshole? Wack.

Meta is a private company and can do whatever it wants. Nothing to see here. Yea..go ahead down vote me
