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.
It ain't working. This is an act of desperation. Those who seek to imprison ideas will always fail, because the ideas they seek to censor will always escape, and become more powerful in the process. The universe of thought functions according to different laws than the world of matter, and materialist tactics don't don't kill ideas. An idea is not a piece of real estate that you can build a fence around, much less a corporeal body that can be tossed into a prison cell.

While true, the question is how powerful is fear? I submit that the vast majority of Americans are timid and will keep their heads down if force is out against them. Right now, using force is limited to the immigrants and those not born in America, but that could expand. There was no cost to showing up for "Hands Off" demonstrations so there was a big turnout. Bravery seems to be inversely proportional to how much one has to lose materially. This goes hand in hand with "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"
I love the Kristofferson line. It's a lyric for the ages.
To fear or not to fear- that is the question! Revolutions happen when people lose their fear. Fear, like everything, has a beginning, a middle and an end.
When there's too much of nothing, no-one has control. No one can stop the loss of fear when it finally comes.
As James Baldwin put it, no one is more dangerous than a man who has had everything taken away and has nothing left to lose.
Love the sentiment but people are still rotting in jails around the world for speaking out against the government. So there is that. The truth has a price.
Scandal. We know corporations cannot be trusted to protect American's free speech. Currently there are no laws to force social media companies to respect free speech of their users. Are there any laws to prevent foreign actors from influencing said corporations to suppress speech?
or laws to punish companies that work with foreign actors to do so? or punish companies that work with domestic governments to violate the constitution? Thank you DropSite.
The Zionist and the US have been committing crimes against humanity and genocide since before 1948. The US is losing power and Palestinians have been gaining support.
That may be but, in the meantime, Palestinians are being exterminated as the world looks on. American liberals are totally focused on Trump, and it seems as if the Palestinian cause is yesterday's news. Of course it is not helped by the government crackdown on university campuses, because, of all things, to protect against antisemitism. It would be a joke were it not so serious. If there is such a thing as a god, s/he must be thinking that it's about time to end it all and start over.
So according to meta's ai, authenticity equates to support8ng genocide. Not sure I'm enthusiastic about ai taking over while our overlords are setting the ground rules.
Thank you for sharing this it explains what is happening in my FB feed. Lately, I have been reporting to the META group a number of IDF glorification posts as hate speech etc. All of my complaints are denied and I block the site /user but then find I get endless additional posts of alternative Israel supporting posts, some particularly vile. I started receiving endless feed of some talentless hollywood IDF actress, as well. The propaganda is revolting and so transparent it must be costing USrael a fortune. I am sure it must be propping up Meta's revenue. It just reduces my engagement with the platform and reduces businesses advertising with the platform. My small business use to spend thousands a month in advertising, we are now spending $0 a month. I admit it is only small amount but a guess lots of small protests can make a difference.
My IG account was heavily shadow Banned since October 7 with a dramatic removal of that shadow banning over the last few weeks. I am not sure if it had to do with any internal action within META or just a random occurrence.
DAWN has urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.
Let’s give them our support. Maybe they will expand their complaint to include this latest US administration, and include all the leaders of the western nations supporting this genocide. And why not expand to these corporate abettors of genocide?
The world needs to see that humanity persists, that there is another way, and that despite everything, we will not stop fighting for a future built on dignity, justice, and peace for all. We can't do this alone and your support is crucial.
Amid the ongoing devastation in Gaza, we are here to say: the Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Ceremony will take place this year. We will not bow to those who seek to silence us.
Every contribution goes directly toward production, logistics, and, most importantly, ensuring the safety and security of all participants and guests.
The ceremony is live streamed on 29th April 2025 at 8:30pm Jerusalem time. You can register online:

It's not a Holocaust if my preferred in-group does it.
This is why we need to boycott all Meta products. I already do.
I'm with you bro.
I haven't got a link yet for Meta, but, here is a related link:
