Overview
- The report, based on 3,520 cases submitted to 7amleh’s Palestinian Observatory, says only 32.5% of those incidents involved an identifiable policy violation.
- Where Meta gave reasons, its Dangerous Organisations and Individuals policy was cited in 57.2% of restrictions and in 71.1% of cases involving journalists.
- Account suspensions were the single most common enforcement action, affecting roughly one-third of documented cases, with other measures including post removals, livestream limits and reduced distribution.
- 7amleh routed 2,828 appeals on behalf of affected users and the report says nearly half received no response from Meta, raising concerns about transparency and remedy.
- The authors call for an independent human-rights audit and policy reform to protect journalistic and public-interest reporting while Meta says it is working to improve Arabic-language moderation and reviewer routing.
