Electronic Frontiers Secretary Fahad Ali is a Palestinian living in Sydney. He said, Meta did not say anything clearly about how the incident happened. The real concern is where these digital biased behaviors are originating from.

A former Facebook employee told the Guardian that the incident had upset many people.

Meta has been accused of censoring Palestinian posts since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Shadow banning or content demoting pro-Palestinian accounts. That means users can post but others can't see it or the posts won't go into other people's feeds.

Meta said in a blog post on Wednesday that since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, the company has taken steps to "identify and prevent the spread of harmful content." There's also no evidence that Meta silenced anyone's voice.

The company claims a bug this week caused Instagram Reels and Stories shared on users' Stories to not show up. Posts related to Israel and Gaza are not restricted.

Ali says, Meta should be more transparent about these issues. Many Palestinians feel their accounts are being targeted and closed. Despite the meta claim that these platforms are taking place as normal, only the voice of the Palestinians is being suppressed.
