Digital Surveillance and Online Disinformation in Palestine
In January 2021, the TikTok account of Quds News Network (QNN) – a popular Palestinian outlet – was removed without any notice, in a move widely deemed as censorship. Hamzah al Shobaki, the platform’s TikTok account manager, said the account was deleted after it shared 1,200 posts related to Arab normalization deals and Israeli occupation. QNN has been under fire from all major tech companies. Twitter had permanently blocked QNN’s verified account in November 2019, and in December 2020, QNN said it was being attacked by defamatory reports against its news posts on Facebook.

While claiming to be a human rights organization that advocates for the rights of Palestinian children, DCI-P:
Promotes the participation of Palestinian children in violence
Condones the PA brainwashing of the Palestinian children
Has invented a false narrative to condemn Israel while all the time ignoring the widespread Palestinian abuse of their own children
Defense for Children International (DCI) is an internationally recognized, non-governmental organization (NGO) that engages in child advocacy. According to its website, the vision of the organization is “that children, as human beings, are able to pursue a life in which they can enjoy their human rights with dignity, in a just and responsible society.”
