In a continuation of repression of Palestinian voices, Meta has restricted the use of the triangle emoji (🔻) on Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, due to its association with Palestinian resistance. The emoji has been made famous due to the use of the symbol by the Al-Qassam Brigades to highlight enemy targets in their operation videos and has become an icon of solidarity with the resistance.

According to the Intercept, who reviewed Meta's internal content moderation files, the rule applies to all users but is now being enforced in moderation. Critics state that this broad ban cannot distinguish between the different uses of the symbol, especially given the opaque nature of the ban.

This comes just a few months after Meta planned to begin to change its policies to classify the word "zionist" as "hate speech."
