Facebook and Meta's Controversial Moderation of Content Related to Israel-Hamas War

Facebook and Meta's machine-learning moderation system allowed an Israeli ad calling for the assassination of a pro-Palestinian activist to be approved despite its violation of Facebook's advertising rules. X (formerly Twitter) has 'actioned' over 325,000 pieces of content that violate its Terms of Service, including posts related to the Israel-Hamas war. Meta has acknowledged that its platform was hiding comments containing the Palestinian flag emoji in certain offensive contexts. The Israel-Hamas war has highlighted the broken and chaotic state of social media platforms.
