It doesn't matter if they're citizens or not if the government is skipping court thus not being required to prove it either way. Then when they oopsie you to another country they have to at least try to pretend to get you back but the courts need to show "deference owed to the executive branch in the conduct of foreign affairs". Which is a long way of saying the executive can blackhole anyone it wants to a foreign co…

>Which is a long way of saying the executive can blackhole anyone it wants Do you have examples of the executive doing this to citizens or are you being hypothetical here? Countries generally grant far fewer rights to non-citizens. Have you considered how allowing non-citizens to spread discontent within a country could be abused?

Does the Constitution provide for due process to persons? Or only citizens?

If non-citizen have been human trafficked without due process, what additional protection against it is provided to citizens? Where is that stated?

"Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel...Meta removed over 90,000 posts to comply with TDRs submitted by the Israeli government in an average of 30 seconds...All of the Israeli government’s TDRs post-October 7th contain the exact same complaint text, according to the leaked information, regardless of the substance of the underlying content being challenged.

What exactly did you mean by "globalists"? who do you refer to by "they"?

Sorry if I got your sentence wrong, but terms like these are routinely used by some truly awful anti-semites, and I sincerely hope Pro-palestinian folks stay clear of those people and their vocabularies.

I this case you have completely changed the meaning of the title though. It sounds Like Meta did this of their own initiative which is a very different message.

I don't read it that way, FWIW. I think some of you are overly focusing on the title instead of the overall effect of the moderator interventions here, which is that the article gets more attention and the story more coverage. In that sense, I'd think it would be in you guys' interest to take yes for an answer, much as zzzeek has here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43657317 .

I am not sure that linking to one post that agrees with your decision to provide your own title for the article (in contradiction to one of HN’s core rules no less) in order to intentionally steer discussion away from the subject of the article is that compelling of a way to convince people that your editorial decision here was correct. It certainly does nothing to address a valid concern about the precedent that this sets.

Rather than taking on the task of manually editing headlines to be more sympathetic to Israel perhaps the site could implement a filter that disallows the word from being used in titles or posts altogether? If that is the aim, it would save you time having to answer questions about it.

It being only 100 seems kinda low for the size of Meta and how many Israelis live in the Bay Area. There is a very large contingent that lives in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale. They’re nowhere near as large as the Chinese and Indian population but probably close to third place for largest foreign born tech worker populace in SV.

in what positions are these 100 ex IDF soldiers? Just some random frontend developers? Or overseeing community management?

All positions. I've worked with many devs to executives that all were from Israel and had served in the IDF.

Edit: I'm deleting most of my post, to avoid politics part and only preserving my "point"

Basically I'm saying: Nobody has a right to free wide distribution of their thoughts on social media anyway, and also, those who provide these free ad-supported platforms have many reasonable motivations to remove content -- including the belief that the speaker is wrong/spreading lies and propaganda. That doesn't 'silence' them any more than not letting them into my house silences them.

Where did you read they are funded by Qatar? Some quick searching indicates that's false. [1] https://www.hrw.org/financials [2] https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/human-rights-watch...

HRW was caught in the past soliciting donations from Saudis in return for restricting their Middle East reporting [1]

Project Raven, a UAE offensive cyber operation has leaked a document by the Qatar government concerning financing of HRW [2][3]

> Israel basically said "we are going to war and we are not going to worry about who is and isn't a soldier anymore, they all dress the same" When did Israel worry about this, when it comes to Palestinian civilians? This accusation from Israel supporters makes no sense because Israel has never cared about killing Palestinian civilians.
