1/ 🚨 NEW: Tech For Palestine submitted a report to the UN detailing how Big Tech upholds Israel's illegal occupation & genocide in Gaza. A thread on how companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, & Microsoft suppress Palestinian voices and power Israel’s war machine. 🧵⬇️ 2/ Big Tech’s Role in Occupation & Genocide
Tech companies support Israel by:
🔹 Censoring Palestinian content
🔹 Boosting the Israeli economy
🔹 Providing cloud & AI for Israel’s military

These actions make Big Tech a direct participant in Israel’s apartheid & genocide.

🚨 Israel is astroturfing IMDb reviews for a select number of so-called documentaries with AI-generated bot campaigns in an ongoing effort manufacture consent for its actions. A prime example of this hasbara strategy is Screams Before Silence, the film led by Sheryl Sandberg that has been thoroughly debunked by @intifada and others. Although the documentary was released in April, it received relatively little attention on @IMDb until June 21, when it was suddenly bombarded with reviews.Image

They say if you keep your expectations low, it's harder to be disappointed, and yet @Meta never fails to deliver. The tech giant's new policy on the use of the word "Zionist" is yet another tool to silence anyone speaking out against Israel.

Extortion website is back. It retains the same domain and @Namecheap has not meaningfully responded. Please continue to report the abusive website to abuse@namecheap.com and refer to complaint WGY-955-61050. 🧵👇 Image "Extortion website" isn't an exaggeration. @haaretz reported yesterday that "the IDF has received legal permission to engage in this extortion." The companies allowing this website to use their services are facilitating extortion.

There is no justification for genocide. But Israel lied about 40 beheaded babies to convince the world there was.

Today we launch Oct7FactCheck, a thorough, deeply researched fact check of Oct 7 claims Of the many claims of babies stabbed, babies hung on clotheslines, babies found in ovens, babies beheaded, none are true.
