A Meta spokesperson declined to specify how the company defined the region. Users can opt-out and change the setting at any time, Meta said. "Our policies are designed to keep people safe on our apps while giving everyone a voice." Meta said. "We apply these policies equally around the world and there is no truth to the suggestion that we are deliberately suppressing voice."
Mondoweiss, a news website that covers Palestinian human rights, said on social media platform X on Oct 10 that Instagram had twice suspended the profile of its video correspondent. Other Instagram users reported their posts and stories about Palestine were not receiving views.
