Campaign to give Facebook app negative ratings due to its bias against Palestinian content
Ramallah (QNN)- Pro-Palestine activists started a new campaign against Facebook app, protesting against the website's bias against the Palestinian content and closure of several Palestinian pages and accounts without providing an explanation.
Activists called for giving Facebook app negative ratings in the App Store and Play Store, which led to a sharp decrease in the app's ratings to less than 1.9 in comparison with 3.8 before the campaign.
The campaign is still in its beginning, while thousands of pro-Palestine activists are joining it.
Sada Social said the ratings of the app in Palestine decreased after starting the campaign due to the platform's policies against the Palestinian content.
Large pages with thousands of followers, like Mish Hek, called their followers to take part in the campaign to show their rejection of Facebook's policies against the Palestinian cause.
The social media giant had recently removed thousands of accounts and pages of Palestinian activists, journalists, and even News agencies, claiming that they violated its policies.
An Israeli group, whose founder supported US President Donald Trump’s plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza and was founded by soldiers and former intelligence officers, was behind last year’s flights that facilitated the travel of hundreds of Palestinians from the war-torn Strip and landed in South Africa and Indonesia, an AP investigation has found.
Israel is reportedly planning to further restrict the entry of aid into the war-torn Gaza Strip, despite the so-called ceasefire and amid an already severe humanitarian crisis after two years of genocide.
