Session: What are Facebook policies in Managing the Arab and Hebrew content on its platform?

17 May 2022

17:20 - 17:55

In the wake of May events last year, the pressure on Facebook (Meta) has increased to stop its discriminatory policies against Palestinians and the advocates for Palestinian rights. Throughout the past few years, Facebook has committed several systematic violations to silence the Palestinian voices in response to the pressure exerted by the Israeli government and other political entities, while allowing the Israeli inflammatory content against Palestinians, which increases the Israeli violations against Palestinians on the ground. As a result, Facebook Oversight Board has recommended to conduct a comprehensive and independent examination of content management in Arabic and Hebrew. In this session, following Facebook’s approval of this recommendation, we will have a discussion with some representatives of Facebook to know more about this examination and the efforts to eliminate the digital discrimination against Palestinians.
