Meta ‘working to understand’ why AI-generated pro-Israel image was removed from Instagram

Social media company Meta says that it is looking into the removal of a pro-Israel AI-generated image from Instagram, after it was deleted earlier today and the account of its creator banned.

The image was created by Benjamin Jamon in response to an AI-generated pro-Palestinian image that was shared tens of millions of times across social media in recent days.

In response to queries regarding the removal of the image, which had been shared half a million times, Meta says that it did not violate their policies and as such, it is “working to understand what technical problem led to its accidental removal.”
