While Iran restricts internet access for its citizens amid ongoing escalations, Israeli authorities have also tightened regulations around documenting the Iranian missile attacks. This conflict is, in many ways, a war of information. www.wired.com/story/iran-i...

This is extremely dangerous! www.npr.org/2025/05/31/n...

Jordana Cutler has been widely criticized for her role in pushing Israeli policies that censor voices critical of Israeli war crimes within the company.

Meta continues its censorship—this time, once again, targeting Michael Schirtzer, a well-known anti-Zionist Jewish comedian. Prior to his suspension, he noted that Jordana Cutler, Meta's Policy Chief for Israel & the Jewish Diaspora, had been viewing his stories mikeybon.substack.com/p/i-was-cens...

🚨Mark Zuckerberg & other Big Tech CEOs have fully aligned with the new Trump administration, dismantling safeguards for human rights & democracy. The GCTJ’s statement exposes their dangerous agenda and calls for urgent global action. 📢 Take action now: www.globaltechjustice.org #TechAccountability

So, Meta is terminating its DEI programs too! This is just the cherry on top of the company’s policy changes, sealing its unholy marrige with the new U.S. administration! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The termination of Meta’s fact-checking program came at the direct request of Brendan Carr, President Trump's pick for FCC chair. In mid-November 2023, he sent a series of threatening letters targeting the fact-checking program of Meta, Apple, Google, & Microsoft. www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/243...

Meta’s latest measures prioritize profit over user safety, dismantling critical fact-checking systems & allowing unchecked disinformation to fuel the platform. This not only threatens people's safety but also erodes democracy worldwide. about.fb.com/news/2025/01...
