145 Palestinians charged over online incitement this year
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF says it has indicted more than 145 Palestinians so far this year for incitement over social media.
Sunday’s announcement comes amid an Israeli campaign to stamp out the online incitement it says fueled months of Palestinian attacks.
Earlier this month, ministers Gilad Erdan and Ayelet Shaked met with Facebook executives to discuss ways of limiting calls to violence on the platform.
Israel says Facebook should do more to monitor and control content, raising a host of issues over whether the company is responsible for material posted by its users.
Israeli lawmakers have proposed legislation that seeks to force social networks to remove content Israel considers to be incitement.
