In April 2025, the media outlet Drop Site News published an article raising concerns about Meta's role in facilitating a global censorship campaign allegedly orchestrated by the Israeli government, targeting pro-Palestinian content on Facebook and Instagram.

According to the article, Meta complied with 94% of Israel’s takedown requests, resulting in the removal, suppression, or banning of over 30 million posts. It further alleges that Israel’s requests have overwhelmingly targeted users from Arab and Muslim-majority countries, in what the article describes as a widespread effort to silence criticism of Israel. The report also claims that Meta’s internal Integrity Organization, led by Guy Rosen, a former Israeli military official who served in Unit 8200, worked closely with policy teams to carry out the campaign.

Moreover, the article alleges that despite being aware of Israel’s censorship practices for at least seven years, Meta failed to prevent the abuse and instead actively enabled it by providing a legal mechanism for mass takedown requests.

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Meta to respond to these allegations and to outline any actions the company is taking to address the concerns raised. Meta did respond.
