Meta to remove more Facebook, Instagram posts that attack ‘Zionism’

Meta plans to remove more Facebook and Instagram posts that attack “Zionism” or threaten “Zionists” when the term is conflated with Jewish people or Israelis, the company said in a blog post on Tuesday. “We will remove content attacking ‘Zionists’ when it is not explicitly about the political movement, but instead uses antisemitic stereotypes, or threatens other types of harm through intimidation, or violence directed against Jews or Israelis under the guise of attacking Zionists,” Meta wrote. Meta previously considered “Zionism” as a proxy for Jewish people in very narrow or explicit cases, like if Zionists were compared to rats, according to the blog post.
