can i have a dataset containing articles that were censored? these articles may be misinformation or openly sympathetic to terrorist organizations.

i'm quite happy with Meta handling the moderation on the conflict.

Being openly sympathetic to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians is bad, so if your rule is being followed, we should expect to see an equally low amount of information from both sides of the conflict: the Israeli side and the Palestinian side.

i'm not saying that. i'm saying there should be honest reporting on the conflict, and that includes this truth - although what's happening in Gaza is heartbreaking, and you could even argue disproportionate, there is no genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

i'm saying we remove the noise surrounding the conflict, and this is curbing the systemic spread of non-truths and hate speech by Iranian-backed disinformation campaigns. TikTok is rife with this.

i believe the rising antisemitism today owes to the proliferation of such content on TikTok where young people consume it on a daily basis.

there is no denying an extremely disproportionate amount of misinformation is coming from the pro-Palestinian movement, backed by Iran and Qatar-based Al Jazeera.

there is no denying an extremely disproportionate amount of hate speech is directed towards the Israelis and the Jewish people, not the Palestinians.

just scroll TikTok or Twitter. for one mild post against a Palestinian, you will find ten extremely antisemitic content directed towards an Israeli who has nothing to do with the conflict.

> there is no genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

Sure, just like there is no terrorism in the middle east. We said it, so that makes it true.

Honestly though, I believe the rising islamophobia and anti-Palestinian attitudes owe to the proliferation of such content online. There is simply no denying an extremely disproportionate amount of hate speech and misinformation coming from the pro-Israel movement, backed by Israel and Israeli media, and directed towards Palestinians and those who oppose the genocide of them. I say this as a jewish person.

I'm just suggesting we remove the noise surrounding the conflict, by curbing the systemic spread of non-truths and hate speech by Israeli-backed disinformation campaigns. Just scroll through any social network or news post with comments. For every one mild post you see describing Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and The West Bank, you will find ten extremely islamophobic comments directed towards Palestinians who had nothing to do with the conflict.

i tried to have a discussion with you, but you decided to troll. i can't believe HN has people like you.

If you are interested in discussion, I encourage you to post good faith replies, instead of calling people who don't agree with you, "trolls", an old and tired routine of internet trolls dating back decades.

What exactly do you take issue with? Your naked and hurtful assertions not being taken on blind faith? The fact that I, a person of jewish faith, see significantly less hate directed at me for it, than I do directed towards Palestinians and those who oppose the genocide of them?

yet another terrorists apologizer.

"There is simply no denying an extremely disproportionate amount of hate speech and misinformation coming from the pro-Israel movement"

what a ridiculous thing to say. let's compare pro-palestine vs pro-israel gatherings. the only thing pro-pals guys do is spreading their hate towards Jews (not only Zionists)

Your opponent justified himself that TikTok ban was necessary- he looked some antisemitic videos, and this is it, he promotes terrorism and antisemitism, totally falling under propaganda.
