Calls for two-hour pause on Facebook in protest against bias against Palestinian content
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- The Palestinian Content Protection Initiative has called on the Palestinian media outlets and activists to observe a two-hour pause next Saturday by not posting on their Facebook pages and accounts from 5pm to 7pm, in protest of the social media's crackdown on the Palestinian content.
The Initiative said in a statement that the Saturday campaign includes a halt on publishing from 5pm to 7pm, in addition to a focused media coverage and campaign to explain the reasons and justifications for this pause.
"The administrations of social media websites have been pursuing, targeting and restricting the publishing and access of Palestinian pages and accounts, and in full coordination with the Israeli occupation government," said the Initiative. "As a result, Palestinian media have been restricted, and were unable to convey their national message."
The Initiative pointed out that "the Facebook campaign has even expanded further to removing and blocking pages and restricting the access to the publications of media pages and news networks. Specialized centers have monitored a 50 percent drop in access."
"Because we are strong and have a right message, and because we defend a just cause against a brutal occupation, it is our duty to stand united to defend our message, and to communicate our voice in an effective and strong way to the administrations of these platforms," the Initiative remarked.
The Palestinian Content Protection Initiative is a newly established gathering of Palestinian media outlets, initiatives, and activists working together to protect the Palestinian content.
Palestinian Authority forces opened fire on a family car in Tubas, killing a 16-year-old boy and his three-year-old sister and arresting their father. The deadly ambush has sparked outrage and renewed scrutiny of security operations in the northern West Bank.

Indonesia says it is ready to join a proposed international force in Gaza but only under strict conditions. Jakarta insists its troops will not engage in combat, disarm resistance groups, or normalize ties, while setting a tightly controlled humanitarian mandate for any deployment.
