Facebook and Instagram censor images of Hamas members embracing released hostages

International attention was drawn to poignant moments during a recent Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange, highlighting farewells marked by gestures and smiles. In parallel, social media giant META faced criticism for censoring footage of the exchange, raising concerns about bias. This follows earlier controversies, including labeling the sharing of the Palestinian flag as "terrorist propaganda." Accusations of META sponsoring the Israeli massacre intensified, given its approval of ads promoting violence against Palestinians and endorsing an assassination call.
