Meta is considering banning the word "Zionist" if it offends Israel. The giant technology company that owns Facebook and Instagram confirmed what was published by the Washington Post.

Meta is working to improve how it applies hate speech bans to posts containing the word, according to the company. Amnesty International researcher and consultant Alia Al-Ghoussein said Meta must be careful that its content policies are not biased against pro-Palestinian voices speaking out against Israel's war on Gaza. The company's policy prohibits attacks on people on the basis of religion or nationality.
