Israel Asked Facebook to Censor Iran War Content, Internal Documents Show
4 days ago by geneva_convenience to c/technology
Israel's government asked Meta to censor social media content about its ongoing war against Iran, according to internal documents viewed by The Intercept.
Company records show that Israel petitioned Meta to take down Facebook and Instagram posts expressing support for Iran, opposition to Israel, and even depictions of Iranian missile impacts.
The government flagged a variety of materials related to the war, including posts mourning the death of Ayatollah Khamenei following his assassination by the U.S. and Israel on the opening day of the conflict, content supportive of Iranโs retaliatory attacks, and Iranian accounts that shared military analysis and propaganda news sympathetic to the Iranian regime governmentโs perspective.
In some cases, Meta complied with the censorship requests, the records show, though it is unclear on what grounds. Meta maintains that it only removes content as required by law or materials that violate its speech policies.
