A former Meta engineer filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging discrimination and wrongful termination over his handling of Gaza content. Mr Ferras Hamad claimed he was fired for advocating to fix bugs that suppressed Palestinian Instagram posts. The lawsuit accuses Meta of bias against Palestinians, citing instances of deleting internal communications mentioning Gaza deaths and scrutinizing the use of the Palestinian flag emoji. Meta faced criticism over content moderation during the Israel-Palestine conflict, with nearly 200 employees expressing concerns earlier in 2024. The engineer’s dismissal reportedly stemmed from his involvement in addressing severe platform issues related to Palestinian content restrictions, including misclassifying a post by a Palestinian photojournalist as pornographic. Meta has not responded to the allegations as of now.
