Description
Social media has been one of the very few available ways for Palestinians to tell their stories, first hand, under the Israeli occupation. But, censorship and account suspensions threaten that venue. As the war on Gaza escalates, social media companies have tightened their grip further. This is mixed with rapid spread of disinformation and conflicting narratives, like those about the Al-Ahli hospital deadly blast in Gaza. So, how far is disinformation and censorship steering the conflict?
