Is there any info on the language distribution of the censored content (or was this about english content only)?
Are there random (or cherry picked) examples of censored content somewhere? Is anything known about the selection process (just keyword based? more sophisticated?).
This talks about the dangers of manipulating public opinion and poisoning future automatic classifications, but how effective were the 'Israelis specifically with that (on a spectrum from "censors everything that contains the words river+sea" to "picks censorship targets strategically in order to shift discourse/opinion in favor of Israel")?
The language of the posts is usually representative of the user country. E.g. USA=English, Egypt=Arabic.
However, on aggregate, the majority of posts taken down are from middle eastern countries, and are mostly arabic language.
Please see "random/cherry picked" examples from human rights watches report mentioned in the bottom of the article.
To quote: "Of the 1,050 cases reviewed for this report, 1,049 involved peaceful content in support of Palestine that was censored or otherwise unduly suppressed, while one case involved removal of content in support of Israel."
