Have you ever wondered how Israel controls the narrative on the Internet, despite the vast majority of the world opposing Israel? And why does it seem so one-sided on social media, when the polls all show the opposite? I'll give you one example how Israel controls what you see. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has a Chief Information Security Officer named Guy Rosen. Rosen is a veteran of Unit 8200, the IDF’s elite signals intelligence and cyber warfare corps (the Israeli Defense Force’s computer hacking and eavesdropping, wire-tapping wing). Unit 8200 alumni have founded or co-founded Check Point, CyberArk, SentinelOne, Paragon, and dozens of other cybersecurity companies. Rosen has direct decision-making authority over which content is permitted on Meta’s platforms, used by 3 billion users worldwide. He oversees the systems that determine what you see, what gets removed, and what gets algorithmically buried. Under his oversight, here is what the internal data shows: since October 7, 2023, Meta has complied with 94% of content removal requests issued by the Israeli government. NINETY-FOUR percent. That figure has been confirmed and reported by the Business and Human Rights Resource Center. For context: most governments receive compliance rates significantly lower than this, and those governments direct their censorship requests at their own citizens. IE, Brazil’s requests target Brazilian content 95% of the time. That's how that works, countries trying to control their own Citizens. Israel? Not so much. Israel’s requests target Israeli users 1.3% of the time. The other 98.7% target users in other countries, including and especially YOU, the American people. The result of this 94% compliance rate: over 90,000 anti-Israel posts immediately get removed, and tens of millions more are suppressed or actioned through automated systems. What's the ratio? I'll give an example of just one month: Human Rights Watch documented over 1,050 cases of anti-Israel content removed in October and November 2023 alone. Of those, 1,049 were anti-Israel content. Only one case involved pro-Israel content. Additionally, leaked documents reveal that Israeli government takedown requests are given a special exception. Rather than the standard process requiring human moderators to review government requests, Israeli requests are routed directly to automated AI systems for faster processing. The algorithm handling Israeli government censorship requests was set to a lower confidence threshold than standard moderation, meaning content could be removed even when the system was highly uncertain it violated any rule. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ledger, anti-Israel content had its automated moderation confidence threshold lowered from 80% to 25%, meaning it can be flagged for removal even when the algorithm was largely uncertain that it violated anything. Are you starting to understand why you see so much pro-Israel content? This is the architecture of your social media feed. You might be saying, "That's Meta. What about X???"
