Sada Social Center, a Ramallah-based social media watch group, said today that during August 2021, nearly 50 violations against Palestinian digital content and the rights of Palestinian users have been monitored.
These violations and restrictions, according to the group, mainly affected the content and accounts that dealt with the Palestinian situation and the ongoing violations of the Israeli occupation.
The restrictions also affected the Palestinian accounts that covered the recent developments in Afghanistan, which led to confusing news coverage and media work for Palestinian journalists and press institutions.
These restrictions also included some kind of penalties against Palestinian media pages that were subjected to the removal of content and publications, said the Center.
The Center said it had received several complaints from people whose accounts on Facebook were removed from publishing because of their use of several terms that are highly censored by the Facebook administration.
“These sites are no longer satisfied with pursuing Palestinian content, but rather practice a kind of organized blocking of information, publication and participation in many issues around the world,” the group said in a statement.
