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

As always, this gonna be info. war! Israel gonna attack the ICT infrastructure & the mainstream media won't cover the attack fairly. Therefore, I'm posting some tips below.
Make sure to amplify the Gaza People's voices & their documentation of the war crimes. 1/3
#GazaUnderAttack
While writing about Gaza, keep in mind that Gaza has been under illegal siege for 15 yrs/ now. Thus, use the right terms, think about the power relations, and clarify who is the colonizer (Israel) & the colonized (Palestinians)! 2/3
#GazaUnderAttack
Make sure to interact with the Palestinian-related content and follow Palestinian activists & organizations. Invite UR friends to follow Palestinian & progressive news organizations such as @theIMEU @EyeonPalestine @Mondoweiss and others 3/3

As the international mainstream media coverage of what is happening in Jerusalem is weak, uses biased terms, and deals with the colonizer & the colonized equally, I think activists can change this through a set of tactics included in this thread. 1/5 👇🏽
#FreePalestine
Amplify Palestinian voices, through sharing their content & their documentation of human rights violations and invite your friends to follow Palestinian lead platforms/organizations such as @IMEU @QastalNewsEn @EyeonPalestine @Mondoweiss 2/5

#HandsOffAlAqsa #FreePalestine
While sharing your content about Palestine keep in mind that the colonizer (Israel) and colonized (Palestinians) aren't equal. Therefore, you should use the terms that describe this difference in powers. 3/5

Google also blurred the Gaza Strip and made the area low-resolution on Google Maps, impeding the ability of HR groups to document attacks & demolitions. #SavePalestine #SavePalestinians #Palestine
