Company says it will crackdown on uses of 'Zionist' where it can be used to dehumanise Jews or Israelis

Meta has said it will expand its hate speech policy to cover more uses of the word “Zionist” when applied to Jews or Israelis on its platform.

We will now remove messages targeting ‘Zionists’ in several areas where our investigation has shown that the term tends to be used to refer to Jews and Israelis, with dehumanising comparisons, calls to harm, or denials of existence," the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

In December, Human Rights Watch said that Meta was guilty of “systemic censorship of Palestine content” during Israel’s war on Gaza.

      Thanks for the explanation, person who believes Jews are not native to Israel:

      You do not get to decide whether a colony is a country. The natives do.

      Definitely not a ragingly anti-Semitic opinion there, nope! Edit: same for the downvoters too. You all need to take a step back and re-examine your views. Jews have lived there for 3000 years.

        Could you remind me how this turned out in most of America historically? And here by America I mean both North and South America.
