> Israel Implemented More Measures to Prevent Civilian Casualties Than Any Other Nation in History Well, they're not very good in preventing civilian casualties. I'm pretty sure they rank pretty fucking high on the list of causing civilian casualties, actually. Most other nations don't need any such measures implemented since, you know, they don't commit genocide. "You should be happy we didn't kill more people, beca…

Do you have a list of rankings for different wars and countries? Yeah. Of course not.

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

The current title (11:36 AM PST) is: "Leaked Data Reveals Massive Israeli Campaign to Remove Pro-Palestine Posts on Facebook and Instagram" @dang IDK if this matters, nor when the title was changed (from submission, to now). Just an FYI.

Btw there's a lot more information about the moderation on this post here, if you or anyone want to read about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43657264.

What country are you from? It is entirely possible they are still terrorists you just decided as society to ignore it.

The ICC has never issued any arrest warrants for our elected/appointed government officials if that's what you are asking.

I 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…

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? https://rsf.org/en/country/russia

As someone who came from a pretty authoritarian country- let me assure you that people there do routinely criticize their government, mock them all the time. Governments often do not have the bandwidth to deal with the volume of criticism, and even when they do- they wisely realize that letting people vent a little online is better than complete crackdown. I myself routinely did this in Facebook, where many in my friend list were government employees and (ex-ruling) party members.

I am in fact far more afraid of pro-palestine speech from USA as an immigrant than I was in my home country- and please trust me I am not exaggerating here.

We can't control which words people are super-reactive to in titles; we can only empirically observe what they are and try to dampen the effect, with the hope of making a thoughtful discussion at least a little more likely.

> You’re not arrested for posting this Your funds might be cut off though: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/07/trump-... Or your president might declare a wartime law to deport all the immigrants: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp34ylep987o Or you, a honors student (but not a citizen) might find yourself in an unmarked van if you dared to question the powers that be. https://www.bbc.com/news/arti…

> Sure it happens to immigrants only for now

... and they're trying to end birthright citizenship. I.e. people who are literally not immigrants (were born here and perhaps have never lived anywhere else) are already being lined up for this.

Actually now US citizens are impacted too.

Michigan-based attorney Amir Makled [a US citizen] was detained by federal immigration agents while returning home from a family vacation
