As the civilian death toll from Israel’s bombing of Gaza continues to rise Instagram users have complained that they are not getting views on pro Palestine content.
While more than a 1000 Palestinians are dead, including more than 600 children, others are struggling to survive through Israel’s embargo on food, water, electricity, and other basic services.
Israel’s atrocities in Gaza have resulted in people around the world raising their voice on social media and sharing footage.
This also includes Pakistani influencers and Instagram users with a significant amount of following.
They are now highlighting that the viewership on their Instagram stories has starkly decreased every since they started sharing pro-Palestinian content.
This has not happened for the first time.
Instagram (i.e. Meta) is known to deliberately restrict the outreach of content that is in support of Palestine or merely stating facts that put Israel in a bad light.
Quds News Network, the largest Palestinian news outlet, has said that Meta has suspended it’s page on Israel’s complaint.
