How Big Tech Is Shaping the Israel-Palestine Conflict & What It Means for Others

The Quint  

Since Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a 'surprise attack' against Israel on 7 October, major tech companies like Meta, Google, and X have outlined the following steps to 'ensure the safety of users': Hamas ban: "Hamas is banned from our platforms, and we remove praise and substantive support of them when we become aware of it, while continuing to allow social and political discourse – such as news reporting, human rights related issues, or academic, neutral and condemning discussion," Meta said. Fake account networks: "Our teams have detected and taken down a cluster of activity linked to a covert influence operation we removed and attributed to Hamas in 2021," Meta said. On the other hand, Google said that its cybersecurity unit Mandiant had "observed fake accounts connected to Iran which are promoting anti-Israeli narratives across various services." Protecting hostages: "In order to prioritise the safety of those kidnapped by Hamas, we are temporarily expanding our Violence and Incitement policy and removing content that clearly identifies hostages when we’re made aware of it, even if it’s being done to condemn or raise awareness of their situation," Meta said, adding that it will also blur the images of victims in line with standards under the Geneva Convention.
