Inside Facebook, the campaign is being treated very seriously and has been categorized as an SEV1, which stands for “severity 1,” a descriptor used internally when there is a major issue with the website, according to screenshots of internal message boards reviewed by NBC News https://t.co/A7VrJemkzk

From 4 to 2.3 and now 1.5 is official rating of @Facebook on App Store. Meanwhile, @Apple has refused a request from Facebook to remove negative reviews in App store after pro-Palestinian users coordinated an effort to tank ratings because of censorship of Palestinian content?

I must admit I was skeptical at first about this campaign, but it seems to be working. Facebook needs to realize they’ve created a serious trust crisis in the region and it won’t be long until users abandon the platform as soon as there is an alternative https://t.co/tA4ka1Jw9v

Facebook asked Apple if it could please remove the negative reviews, @oliviasolon reports. Apple said no. https://t.co/GOeJLs0q0C
Regardless of whether Facebook apologized - it doesn’t change the fact that some counties get a seat at a table such as Israel with its own rep at the company and some don’t, such as Palestine and many others incl. Azerbaijan. https://t.co/jjQweiHEhv

This piece by @billyperrigo for @TIME illustrates how social media (not just FB but Venmo, PayPal, and others) flags the word "Palestine" as suspect in ways that the word "Israel" never is, due to a combination of laziness, indifference, and racism https://t.co/8pqQPaBU6T

Is Facebook allowing referrals from Israel's cyber unit to train Facebook's AI to search and destroy Palestinian content? Facebook spokespeople don't deny it: https://t.co/WEwCypaXLC#FreePalestine

The strategy appears to be working. In the last week, the average star rating was down from over 4 out of 5 to 2.3 out of 5 on Apple’s App Store and 2.4 out of 5 on the Google Play store after receiving thousands of one-star reviewshttps://t.co/Dk5SG8DEhN
