Company says it will crackdown on uses of 'Zionist' where it can be used to dehumanise Jews or Israelis

Meta has said it will expand its hate speech policy to cover more uses of the word “Zionist” when applied to Jews or Israelis on its platform.

We will now remove messages targeting ‘Zionists’ in several areas where our investigation has shown that the term tends to be used to refer to Jews and Israelis, with dehumanising comparisons, calls to harm, or denials of existence," the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

In December, Human Rights Watch said that Meta was guilty of “systemic censorship of Palestine content” during Israel’s war on Gaza.

    No Zionism is the religion of israel. It does not have anything to do with Judaism. It’s a white surpremacy death cult akin to Nazism.

    The best way to describe Zionists is a quote by Ilan Pape:

    “Most Zionists don’t believe that God exists, but they do believe that he promised them Palestine”
