Tuesday 20-February-2018

Facebook administration has removed the “Palestine.net” page as part of a campaign targeting pro-Palestine social media accounts.

In a move condemned by observers as an act of social media imperialism the Facebook admin blocked the “Palestine.net” page which monitors terror acts and violations by the Israeli occupation forces and settlers across the occupied Palestinian territories.

Prior to its removal the page had garnered 180000 followers.

Over the past couple of days a social media sweep kick-started by Facebook administration targeted 29 Palestinian pages and accounts. The measures included the removal of pages accounts posts and photos deemed inflammatory and supportive of anti-Israel activism.
