Instagram sorry for adding ‘terrorist’ to some Palestinian user bios::It says it fixed a problem “that briefly caused inappropriate translations” in some Instagram profiles.

      He had written in his bio that he was Palestinian, followed by a Palestinian flag and the word “alhamdulillah” in Arabic - which translates to “praise be to God” in English.

      However, upon clicking “see translation”, viewers were given an English translation reading: “Praise be to God, Palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom”.

      I think this is just an error. If it was a pro Palestinian play they wouldn’t call them terrorists. If it was a pro Israel play they wouldn’t have said fighting for their freedom.

        How many Palestinians run major US based companies compared to those who are Jewish that run major US companies? I’d say it’s probably a 1:10 ratio. NYC has a massive Jewish population and they run tons of lucrative businesses.

        We already know Facebook/Meta is a shitty company that “engineers” rage in order to foster “engagement”.

        It’s really not that far of a stretch. It’s done all the time with politics (GOP vs Democrats), so why is it crazy for me to think that Meta is pro-Israel?
