WIDESPREAD SOCIAL MEDIA DENIAL OF ARABIC LANGUAGE USERS' FREEDOM OF SPEECH

✍️ by Hikaru Kitabayashi ✍️

Telegram is the only platform, whether social media or mainstream media, on which a person is able to get a more or less balanced view of what is happening in Palestine. Partly, this is because of more successful pressure from the American-Israeli intelligence community on other platforms. Partly, it is due to the Judaic backgrounds and inherited Zionist sympathies of people owning important media companies.

We can cite Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders Google and still strongly influential stockholders of its parent company ABC. This company also controls YouTube and the development of Android, which is so widely used for smartphones, thus making it so that even Telegram has to sometimes step carefully.

Mark Zuckerberg, who seems in his early years to have had intelligence community backing, is another example. His control of Meta also gives him control over Facebook and Instagram.

Elon Musk, throughout his career has had strong government backing. Though claiming to support freedom of speech, he bans pro-Palestinian sites on X. This is clearly due to a combination of his Defense Department contacts and his Judaic origins involving a childhood exposure to Zionism.

In the mainstream media, the New York Times has been owned and controlled since its founding 120 years ago by a family of mixed Judaic and later Christian origin (the Ochs/Sulzberger family) that remains heavily involved in the Judaic community.

Finding accurate information in a timely fashion on any of these platforms remains a challenge. It is a major irritation. In fact, in response to a recent posting, a subscriber privately sent the following message:

"I can sense your irritation with Google. During the first days of the war last October, when people asked ChatGPT about the war and conflict, it was clearly biased. The same applies to Facebook and such other platforms. Many people, when they write in Arabic about Palestine, Israel or Zionism, they write a latin letter in the middle of the Arabic written word to baffle the algorithm and hence avoid the Facebook policies that is pro Israel. In general the mainstream media selects certain words to mislead people, like this attached example."

Obviously, algorithms, are already in the process of being tweaked by programmers. One alternative, of course, is to resort to using dialects. As the dialects of the Arab world are sometimes widely divergent, using one or more in the same posting for algorithm sensitive topics would be more difficult for programmers to control. Creative use of Emoji is also another possibility.

It should be emphasized that all of the above solutions are short term solutions. Whether applied to Arabic or English, the best that can be hoped for is that social media creators can stay at least one step ahead of the programmers for the duration of the 7 October 2023 Black Swan War.

What is needed is a more permanent solution that is fully transparent. What history shows is that where there is a social problem, there will eventually be a solution, often accompanied by revolutionary explosions of social violence. Though history does not give us cause to be optimistic, let us hope that this time the pain will be minimal, because the world is long overdue for an explosion of epic proportions.
