"Meta's Debate on Labeling 'Zionist' as Hate Speech"

Meta is considering expanding its enforcement of hate speech rules to include more uses of the term "Zionist" on social media, particularly when it's used as a hateful substitute for "Jews" or "Israelis." This potential policy change has sparked a debate, with some arguing that it could stifle legitimate political critiques of the Israeli government and Zionism, while others believe it's necessary to counter a surge of antisemitism online. The move has triggered alarm among digital rights activists and pro-Palestinian groups, who fear it could silence Palestinian voices and set a dangerous precedent for freedom of expression online.
