As the Israeli attack escalates on the ground, we can see more content censorship, which is basically documenting the war crimes in Gaza. Therefore, I'm posting this thread to remind the social media companies of their measures during the Russia-Ukraine war. 1/5
#GazaUnderAttack

Based on the Ukrainians' right to self-defense, they were allowed to spread hate speech against the Russian political leaders, military, and president.
In our case, We've seen some taken down content only taking about the killed children of Gaza! 2/5
#GazaUnderAttack

Russian media was labeled as state-owned media & weren't allowed to run ads on SM platforms. Palestinians didn't hear anything in this regard, but rather, we saw the Israeli forces sharing a video justifying carrying out air strikes on densely populated civilian locations. 3/5

When they took those measures, everyone said this is going to be a turning point for upcoming crises in other countries.

This is just a reminder that when SM companies have political will they took strict measures to protect oppressed people. Therefore, they should do that now!

Last but not least, here is my piece "Who gets to speak out against their occupier on social media?" which discusses social media companies' double standards, feel free to read/share it! 5/5
