Meta to broaden hate speech policy to remove more posts targeting 'Zionists' (www.middleeasteye.net)

Meta has said it will expand its hate speech policy to cover more uses of the word "Zionist" when applied to Jews or Israelis on its platform.

We will now remove messages targeting 'Zionists' in several areas where our investigation has shown that the term tends to be used to refer to Jews and Israelis, with dehumanising comparisons, calls to harm, or denials of existence," the company said in a press release on Tuesday.

In December, Human Rights Watch said that Meta was guilty of “systemic censorship of Palestine content” during Israel's war on Gaza.

Probably fitting. Babbling leftists have thrown that word around so much its lost all meaning as well.

Let's not pretend that there isn't an active effort to undermine the meaning of Nazi. I've seen many more claims of Nazi being overused than I have of anyone actually accusing someone of being a Nazi, in good faith or otherwise

And it’s always by people you’d generally call a Nazi.

Normal people aren’t bothered by it.
