Facebook administration resumed Friday its policy of targeting Palestinian media pages after blocking Palestine Network for Dialogue’s page for the third time.
The Palestine Network for Dialogue an online discussion board was blocked without any prior notice although it has 70 000 followers.
Palestine Network for Dialogue specializes in publishing stories about the plight of Palestinians both in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip in addition to those living in 1948 occupied Palestine.
Last September several pro-Palestinian Facebook pages and accounts were removed including accounts of seven editors of the Palestinian Information Center (PIC).
In a controversial move the Israeli government and Facebook reportedly agreed to work together to determine how to tackle incitement on social media aimed primarily at Palestinians.
Not long after Facebook’s agreement several Palestinian pages with millions of readers found themselves closed and administrators locked out in a move believed to be directly connected to the agreement between Facebook and the Israeli government.
