How the fuck is it America’s business?
The article is essentially just a hitpiece against Telegram and Twitter (though Musk has actually been taking down stuff at FBI’s request so w/e).
They back Israel so it’s their business
Why should we be trying to silence the voices on only one side?
I agree!! Silence everyone!! All silent lives matter!
so we should also let russian propaganda flow through social media?
yea just let our government decide for us what we should be allowed to see.
what a joke lmao
Don’t change the subject. Why do you want to block Palestinian voices but give Israel free reign?
Saying Hamas represents Palestinian voices is the same as saying the Taliban represents Afghan voices.
Now who’s generalizing?
That’s not a generalization, it’s a direct comparison.
Both Hamas and the Taliban are brutal Islamic terrorist groups that also hold political control over their territories and claim to represent the people.
Hell, the Taliban and Hamas are allied even.
We’re taking about Israel/Palestine, don’t generalize to all Islamic movements.
I’m not. I’m directly comparing two very similar and allied Islamic movements that cooperate and support each other.
Yes, just like we allowing the usa and israel propaganda
Did it not?
Israel being a fascist state and always having been so is not Russian propaganda
Like Hamas, Islamists group are fascists.
Hamas is Russian?
CNN is republican propaganda now. Is there even a shred of actual evidence for this? If magic internet points can really be given, the most likely source is bots that cost literally nothing to engage.
I think this is more a symptom of our news agencies and social media platforms being so fucking worthless that people are having to resort to using shady platforms to get up to date and uncensored news.
If you’re following this war closely, Telegram is the place to be.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hamas is a designated foreign terror organization in the United States, and new internet laws in the European Union mean large social media platforms can face penalties for hosting terroristic content.
Meta and Google prohibit Hamas accounts, but Telegram, a company founded by a Russian entrepreneur which is now based in Dubai, has decided to allow the group to continue use its service.
X, formerly Twitter, says it also has a ban on Hamas and has removed “hundreds” of “Hamas-affiliated accounts.” Last week, however, the European Union announced it was opening an investigation into the company about disinformation and illegal content about the conflict on its platform.
For years, critics of social media have tried to hold platforms accountable by suing them for the content they host, including material produced by terror groups.
But US courts have generally looked askance at this type of litigation, and few if any potential content moderation lawsuits linked to the Israel-Hamas war will get very far, at least in the United States, according to John Bergmayer, an attorney specializing in platform liability issues at Public Knowledge, a US-based consumer advocacy group.
The European Union has warned very large platforms this past week that they could also be fined billions if their handling of illegal content or mis- and disinformation violates the Digital Services Act (DSA), a law that went into effect for companies including Meta, X and TikTok in August.
