the organization documented and reviewed more than a thousand reported instances of Meta removing content and suspending or permanently banning accounts on Facebook and Instagram.
Does 1000 seem small for an intentional, global, censorship campaign? That seems very small to me. That seems like a rounding error on a days worth of reported posts.
Indeed. It would be interesting to run the same analysis for censorship of pro Israel content and compare the differences between the two, though the data would likely still be noisy and inconclusive.
What percent of facebook users would document their content and report their removal to HRW? 1000 reporting to HRW because their comments got removed from facebook seems funny. I certainly wouldn’t think to report technology@lemmy.world’s mods to a human rights organization if they removed this comment or banned me for posting something pro-palestine on another community.

The fact that you’re being downvoted for calling for a more thorough and objective investigation really says it all.

Those are just the documented ones. They don’t exactly have access to meta’s modlogs
