At least #Perplexity got one thing right:

-----
Multiple #independent #investigations and #leaked #internal #data confirm that #SocialMedia platforms—especially #Meta (#Facebook and #Instagram)—have engaged in #widespread, #systematic #censorship of #pro-Palestinian #content, often in direct response to #Israeli #government #requests[1][2][3][4][6][7]. This censorship has resulted in the #removal, #suppression, or #shadowbanning of tens of thousands of #posts and #accounts, with a disproportionate impact on users from Arab and Muslim-majority countries, but also affecting users worldwide[2][3][4][6].

Key points from the evidence:

- Meta has complied with 94% of Israeli government takedown requests since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 90,000 immediate removals and the suppression of millions more posts through automated systems[2][3][4][6].
- The vast majority of these requests targeted #content #critical of #Israel or #supportive of #Palestinians, and only a tiny fraction targeted Israeli users[3][6].
- #HumanRightsWatch and other NGOs have documented this as a #global, #systemic pattern of #censorship, not isolated incidents[1][5][7].
- There is no comparable evidence of systematic censorship or suspension for users expressing pro-Israeli views; the #documented #bias overwhelmingly targets pro-Palestinian speech[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

In summary, the documented reality is that pro-Palestinian views are aggressively censored on major social media sites, while pro-Israeli views do not face the same level of moderation or suppression. This creates a significant imbalance in the digital public sphere[1][2][3][4][6][7].

Answer from Perplexity: pplx.ai/share

Human Rights Watch · Meta’s Broken PromisesThe 51-page report, “Meta’s Broken Promises: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook,” documents a pattern of undue removal and suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights. Human Rights Watch found that the problem stems from flawed Meta policies and their inconsistent and erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals.

Becoming more clear that the threats to start thoroughly unnecessary #war with #Canada, #Denmark, and #Panama are serious. #Trump really intends to do it. Aside from an unconscionable act of aggression, it’s unwinnable, as it would split US military against itself. Suicide for the USA.

#Impeachment/ #removal of Trump has gone beyond “it’s the right thing to do” into “it’s absolutely necessary for the continued survival of the USA as a country.”

Today in Labor History February 24, 1831: The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was proclaimed. It was the first removal treaty of the Indian Removal Act. Under the treaty, the Choctaws in Mississippi gave up their land east of the Mississippi River (15 million acres) in exchange for cash and land in the West (present day Oklahoma). 5-6,000 Choctaws (25% of their population), chose to stay in Mississippi. However, settlers and white locals continually abused them, burning down their properties, attacking them, arresting them, and sometimes murdering them.

Mosholatubbee, chief of the Choctaw Okla Tannap ("Lower Towns"), one of the three major Choctaw divisions during the early 19th century, tried to get elected to Congress. 1834, Smithsonian American Art Museum. Wearing a green gown and medalian-like necklace, and holding a long tobacco pipe in one hand and feathers in the other.
