7amleh – Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media

IFEX joins 7amleh and other organisations in urging Meta to commit to implementing the recommendations of the BSR report, and to take decisive action to protect the voices of Palestinians among other oppressed peoples and groups around the world.

New accreditation with the UN Economic and Social Affairs Council (ECOSOC) will help the digital rights organization bring Palestinian rights violations to the world’s attention.

New survey demonstrates an urgent need for comprehensive privacy and data protection Palestinian legislation that can protect all citizens’ right to privacy and ensure accountability.

Palestinians’ right to privacy and the protection of personal data is subjected to negligence and exploitation by both Israeli and Palestinian authorities reveals a new report.

The use of surveillance practices must stop, perpetrators must be held accountable, and victims including Palestinian-French human rights defender Salah Hammouri must receive justice, says the Palestinian Digital Rights Coalition (PDRC).

The report is just the latest development in an ongoing anti-Palestinian smear campaign that silences Palestinian voices and restricts freedom of expression, say over 100 rights groups.

In its latest “Index of Racism and Incitement on Israeli Social Media”, the Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media (7amleh) found an 8% increase in online hate speech directed at Palestinians and Arabs compared to 2020.

The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media (7amleh) documented 1,033 violations of Palestinian digital rights on social media platforms last year.
