#43I like to think we are in a better place than russia for instance with all its propaganda and jailed journalists, but then i see these kind of article come over and over.... Most of the people in the 'free world' goes on mainstream media, like facebook to get their news. These companies are enticed to 'suck up' to the government because at the end they are business, they need to be in good term with ruling class. you…
The difference with Russia is that they are much worse at hiding their corruption and censorship.

#44I'd like to see examples of actual posts that were taken down, rather than talk of the quantity, or who filed the reports.
The HRW report[1] goes into details, at least on the 1050 takedowns they documented
> A Human Rights Watch (HRW) report investigating Meta’s moderation of pro-Palestine content post-October 7th found that, of 1,050 posts HRW documented as taken-down or suppressed on Facebook or Instagram, 1,049 involved peaceful content in support of Palestine, while just one post was content in support of Israel."

It’s not a better or worse government (although it may be), it’s just different.

#46Why is the word Israeli removed from the title? and Meta added? Seems like quite a politically-important modification

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
The leadership is Jewish. You can argue America in the early 1900s during Jim Crow was not technically segregated and disenfranchised. Looking at facts without context is very misleading. The leadership themselves described their neighbors as animals. It is a nation based on dehumanization for the establishment of a religious ethnostate (hence the law of return aimed at Jews and not Muslim or Christian arabs for inst…

This serves to demonstrate that “Arabs” residing in Israel (with all the complexities of Israeli residency omitted for the sake of time) are relatively underrepresented in the Knesset.
You’ve shown less than 10% of the Knesset is “Arab” (for Israel’s peculiar definition of “Arab”), whereas 20+% of the population is.

Russia doesn't bang the drum of "free speech" ad nauseam the way US social media magnates do.

Edit: ok you guys, all your responses have convinced me that I misread the room, and I'm going to reverse the title edit now.

I did those title edits to (marginally) reduce the flamebait effect of the title, in keeping with standard moderation practice (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Titles have by far the biggest impact on discussion quality, so this is a big deal. Especially when the topic is divisive.

You’re not arrested for posting this, so that is a pretty big difference to Russia (and other authoritarian nations like China and Turkey), no?
