Webinar: Meta’s Role in Amplifying Harmful Content During Genocide

Big Tech’s role in atrocity crimes is unfolding in real time. During Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, Meta’s platforms have amplified incitement, disinformation, and paid propaganda while disproportionately silencing Palestinian voices.

To mark the release of its new report “Meta’s Role in Amplifying Harmful Content During Genocide in Gaza,” 7amleh is hosting an online webinar to unpack these findings and their wider implications. Panelists will explore how Meta’s failures in content moderation and accountability contribute to real-world harm, and discuss legal, policy, and civil society strategies to confront corporate complicity in mass violence.

Speakers:
Jalal Abukhater: Policy Manager, 7amleh. Digital rights advocate from Jerusalem and lead author of the new report Meta’s Role in Amplifying Harmful Content During Genocide in Gaza.

Maen Hammad: Tech Accountability Campaigner, Ekō. Human rights researcher and campaigner with nearly a decade of experience in cutting-edge research on tech accountability.

Maha Loulou: Researcher, Law for Palestine, and Project Coordinator, Physicians for Human Rights (Prisoners Division). Coordinator of Law for Palestine’s “Genocidal Intent Database” project.

Moderator: Taysir Mathlouthi, Advocacy Officer, 7amleh

The webinar will be next Monday, September 8, 2025. From 19:00 - 20:00 Jerusalem Time, and 12:00 - 13:00 New York Time
