Facebook apologizes for taking down a pro-Israel post


He would create a Facebook page, post an almost identical photo except with Israel and Palestine switched, and then report it as offensive content. The post was first published by a group called Israel Video Network, which typically posts nationalistic and often provocative videos. The post in question was actually a photo, so to speak, of text saying, "It's called Israel, not 'Palestine'! We removed the post below because it does not follow the Facebook Community Standards.”The administrators of the Facebook page got in touch with Dov Lipman, a former member of Israel's parliament, known as the Knesset. The response he got was that the pro-Palestine post “does not violate our community standards.”A week after Lipman's letter was published, Facebook formally apologized and reinstated the original post.
