Since Oct 7, 2023, Meta has executed a massive censorship campaign on Facebook and Instagram, removing or suppressing posts critical of Israel or supportive of Palestinians, Drop Site News reported in April 2025. The report called it “the largest mass censorship operation in modern history,” based on internal Meta data provided by whistleblowers and confirmed by multiple sources inside the company.
Meta reportedly complied with 94% of takedown requests from Israel—the single largest originator of content removals worldwide—affecting an estimated 38.8 million posts. While most requests were classified under “terrorism” or “violence and incitement,” the complaints all used identical language regardless of the content, linking to an average of 15 posts each without describing the posts themselves.
The campaign disproportionately targets users from Arab and Muslim-majority nations but has a global reach, affecting posts in over 60 countries. Drop Site News warned that Meta’s AI moderation tools are being trained on these takedowns, potentially embedding this censorship into future automated content decisions. Project Censored noted that the Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned Meta’s actions, stating, “Meta must stop censoring criticism of the Israeli government under the guise of combating antisemitism, and Meta must stop training artificial intelligence tools to do so.”
The report also cited the Committee to Protect Journalists’ findings that Israel controls coverage of its military operations
This is definitely getting suppressed too
Remember when Meta [purposefully inserted the word „terrorist“ into Palestinian Instagram bios](https://www.404media.co/instagram-palestinian-arabic-bio-translation/)?
At this point, it’s clear that no decent person would use Instagram.
What is 2025’s Most Censored Story?
Idk if it’s just an algorithm thing, but as far as tiktok, reddit, Twitter, and YouTube the plight/horrors inflicted upon the Palestinian people was everywhere.
Much like the Reddit when it comes to criticizing the lack of emotional intelligence on the left 😉
Yet Meta encourages Pedophiles and sex traffickers to use their platform. You have to violate the rules 17 times before they will even warn you. So they can rape 17 kids before Meta considers it a problem.
I still think it’s crazy there was no reporting on the typhoon in Alaska in October that displaced thousands of people and over a dozen communities. Like shouldn’t that be in the news? Maybe not censorship, but just seems like the news is failing in all areas really, lately.
Meanwhile I reported a video of a car crash with graphic, obviously dead bodies displayed for “showing violence, death or severe injury” and was told by Meta that it “didn’t violate community standards.” K.
What was the top and first-place most censored story?
Makes you wonder why a country like Saudi Arabia is not sending mass takedown requests for pro-Israeli content.
Every time I see a story like this I am glad I deleted my Facebook account and never signed up for Instagram.
Manly Mark knows what’s best for his peons
Seeing people still defend these platforms as neutral spaces is hilarious at this point.
It’s r/worldnews all over again.
Reddit does it too. You do not even have to criticize a regime, and reddit’s AI or bot will immediately permanent ban you and any account you ever had. You can manually contact them and say you did not break any rules and they can manually restore the account. But the damage is already done. I can only imagine how many accounts are being banned as I write this, that are criticizing regimes around the world on reddit.
You can also mass report an account and it will be taken down, regardless if it breaks any rules.
We thought Cambridge Analytica was bad, this is CA on steriods.
When Facebook wasn’t immediately sued to oblivion and put out business for Cambridge analytica , as well as jail time for the entire executive team, it was only ever going to get much much worse
Most people seem to ignore that tyrants are ruling the world
