Warren, Sanders accuse Meta of blocking content related to Palestinians: 'Deeply troubling'
(snip)
Their letter, addressed to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is a follow-up to a December one Warren sent that was also about Instagram and Facebook suppressing Palestinian content.
The senators say Meta’s response to the original letter “did not provide any of the requested information necessary” to understand the company’s treatment of Arabic language and Palestine-related matters versus other content.
“It is deeply troubling that Meta refuses to acknowledge and address the discriminatory nature of its content removal practices, despite being presented with a plethora of evidence to this effect,” Warren and Sanders wrote.

Human Rights Watch released a report on Dec. 21 that found Meta suppressed or removed more than 1,000 expressions of “peaceful support of Palestinians” over both platforms in October and November.
