Over the past few weeks, Palestinian activists have taken to the streets and social media to protest Israeli attacks on Palestinians both online and offline. During this time, a campaign of censorship from the Israeli government on social media platforms has been implemented, with hundreds of posts and accounts being taken down without clear explanations or violations. As a result, Palestinians have found new and innovative ways to share information and content across social media, in order to avoid possible censorship.
Join us on Tuesday 15th of June for the webinar, “Palestinian Narrative: Censorship and Creativity in Time of Crisis” to discuss how the Palestinian narrative has evolved over the past month, including the successful aspects of digital activism in recent weeks, and how governments and social media companies have worked to censor this creative resistance. In particular, we will address the impact of Israel and technology companies on Palestinian freedom of expression and the role of digital activists and digital influencers during this period.
